Why UCLA can cover
UCLA is coming off a road loss at then-No. 16 LSU, but it covered the spread as a 21.5-point underdog. Senior quarterback Ethan Garbers completed 22 of 36 passes for 273 yards and two touchdowns in a game that was tied 17-17 at halftime. The Bruins are playing under first-year head coach DeShaun Foster, who was a former star running back at the school.
They have converted just 3 of 9 red-zone opportunities into touchdowns, while their opponents are 8 of 12. This gives UCLA a chance to improve in both categories, which would keep this game closer than expected. The Bruins have won nine of their last 12 games in September. See which team to pick here.
Why Oregon can cover
Oregon has dominated this head-to-head series, winning four in a row and 10 of the last 11 meetings. The Ducks are 15-3 in the 18 contests since 2000, including a 45-30 win in the most recent matchup (2022). They are coming off a 49-14 win at Oregon State, as quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 20 of 24 passes for 291 yards and two touchdowns.
The Ducks finished with 546 yards of total offense in that lopsided victory. Gabriel leads the nation with an 84% completion percentage and is the only FBS quarterback above 80%. He has 16,865 total yards in his career, putting him just 135 yards short of joining Case Keenum as the only players in NCAA history to reach the 17,000-yard mark. See which team to pick here.
