Boston University at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 83, Boston University 55

Moneyline

UCLA (-10,000) would give you 100 times your potential return. That is never a recommended play because for every $1 in profit you would have to risk $100, which is insane.

PASSAGE. Instead, bet the spread and/or total.

Against the spread

Play UCLA -23.5 (-110) against winless Boston University +23.5 (-110), while the angry Bruins take a hit against a team that has really struggled against lower-level opponents. The Bruins should be able to perform well after a sloppy game against UNM last time.

Top/Bottom

MORE THAN 133.5 (-110) is worth a look. UCLA should take out its frustrations with poor old Boston U during its visit to Pauley Pavilion.

The Bruins haven’t shot the ball well in either game so far, but with a huge size advantage, UCLA should be able to take its day on the visitors. It wouldn’t be surprising to see the Bruins flirt with triple digits if they get off to a good start.
