This is a 10* PAC-12 ASSASSIN on UCLA.

While I do believe the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I look for the home side to keep this one a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Utah is one of the best teams in the country and already dismantled the Bruins 71-39 on January 4th, making the "revenge factor" a very real scenario in this one. Note though that the Utes have not won in Los Angeles in over 53 years, dropping two road meetings since joining the Pac-12 in 2011/12 by a combined 41 points there. Utah is rolling on both ends of the court, but I think will have its hands full vs. the "hungrier" team, clearly UCLA will be looking to not only atone for the earlier loss to the Utes, but also its 1-2 road swing which ended in back-to-back defeats. Note though that the Bruins are already 1-0 ATS this year after playing three consecutive road games and are 6-4 ATS in all home games. I think the situational conditions favor the home side, play on UCLA.
