OVER 52.5 at -110

UCLA’s offense will not be nearly as productive as it has been the last few weeks, nor will its defense find a way to slow down the IU offensive juggernaut. Indiana will do the bulk of the work with the Bruins tacking on enough to send the final score OVER the TOTAL.

Fernando Mendoza, UNDER 265 passing yards at -115

UCLA has a solid pass defense (24th in the country) but is terrible vs. the run (No. 115). Indiana will take what the Bruins give them and run the ball all day long, keeping down Mendoza’s passing total.

Roman Hemby, OVER 66.5 rushing yards at -115

Hemby had an off-day last week against Michigan State, gaining just 11 yards in six carries vs. Michigan State. But he gained 70 yards vs. Oregon (19 carries) and 86 yards vs. Iowa (15 carries), and both teams have much better run defenses. UCLA ranks 115th vs. the run.

SGP Odds: +420

A $100 wager will result in a $520 payday, your stake plus $420 in winnings.

Omar Cooper Jr., Anytime First Half Touchdown at +125

Cooper has scored seven times with at least one in four of his last five games. UCLA has given up 12 passing touchdowns this season and four during its current win streak. But Indiana is going to come out firing and will build an early lead.

Elijah Sarratt, Anytime First Half Touchdown at + 110

Sarratt has scored in five of seven games this season, with multiple in three. I considered going with 2+ TDs, but let’s not get too greedy.

Indiana -25

I think UCLA is playing above its weight class in this one; the teams they’ve beaten are 1-11 in Big Ten play. Nico Iamaleava is a talented player, and he’ll make some plays. But he will not have the help he needs to make this one competitive, let alone pull off an epic upset.

Indiana is the No. 2 team in the country for a reason. They’ll cover the spread.

I see a lot of previews online that preach caution because UCLA has finally woken up these last few weeks. The Bruins are finally playing the kind of football fans and analysts expected from the start. However, UCLA’s recent success needs to be kept in perspective.

Of the three teams UCLA has beaten, they are a combined 1-11 in conference play and 1-6 on the road. UCLA has beaten bad teams. Indiana is surprisingly one of the best. Don’t sell them short; the Hoosiers will take care of business in this game.
