Washington vs UCLA Pick

• Washington vs UCLA Spread Pick

Both teams have been solid enough this season, but UCLA is the hotter team coming into Saturday. Look for the Bruins to do the work on both sides of the ball against a mediocre Washington team. Take UCLA Saturday to do the job as they continue their winning ways, winning and covering at home. The Bruins will extend their winning streak Saturday night as they do the work against a streaking Washington team.

• Washington vs UCLA Over/Under Pick

Both teams will score well, but UCLA will rely on its defense. The Bruins have picked up on that end of the floor of late and will continue that trend Saturday. Look for UCLA to stifle Washington start to finish Saturday night, leading to the victory. Take the Bruins to get the win Saturday night at home, but the total will go under the number in a conference matchup.
