No. 18 UCLA will face a ranked opponent for the third week in a row when it travels to No. 15 Oregon State on Saturday night. The Bruins bounced back from a loss to then-No. 11 Utah with a 25-17 win over then-No. 13 Washington State last week. Oregon State lost to the Cougars three weeks ago, but it has responded with consecutive double-digit wins over Utah and California. The Beavers and Bruins have not met since 2019, when Oregon State cruised to a 48-31 win as a 4.5-point underdog. 

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. Oregon State is favored by 4 points in the latest Oregon State vs. UCLA odds, while the over/under is set at 54.5 points, per SportsLine consensus.

Why Oregon State can cover

UCLA is having to go on the road for the second time in three games, and it is also facing its third straight ranked opponent. Meanwhile, Oregon State is coming off a pair of double digit wins, giving the Beavers a scheduling advantage on Saturday night. Their defense was dominant in a 21-7 win over Utah two weeks ago, and their offense showed off in a 52-40 win over California last week. 

Junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei threw five touchdown passes in the win over the Golden Bears, with Jack Velling catching three of them. Uiagalelei has racked up 1,307 passing yards and 13 touchdowns this season while rushing for 131 yards and five more scores. The Beavers have been one of the best teams in the country to wager on since last season, covering the spread in 11 of their last 13 games. 

Why UCLA can cover

UCLA has dominated Oregon State in recent meetings, winning nine of the last 13 contests outright. The Bruins have also covered the spread in 10 of the last 13 matchups, including six straight at Oregon State. They are battle-tested following their last two games against ranked teams, beating Washington State by eight points last week to cover the 3-point spread. 

Freshman quarterback Dante Moore has thrown for 1,139 yards and nine touchdowns, while junior running back Carson Steele has rushed for 412 yards and two scores. The Bruins have been even better defensively, allowing just one offensive touchdown to both Utah and Washington State. They rank third nationally against the run (64.6 yards per game) and eighth in points allowed per game (12.2). See which team to pick here.
