The UCLA Football team has been given an slight opening advantage for their final game of the season up at Berkeley.

The UCLA Football team has been given a four point advantage (-4) by Las Vegas to open their final game of the season agaisnt California.

Funny enough, that is a perfect summation for the Bruins’ season. Barely favored over a mediocre Pac-12 team and just trying to make it to the finish line. #LeSigh.

After their 36-14 unraveling against USC, the Bruins are 4-7 and are out of contention for bowl eligibility. UCLA only has this final game against Cal for the 2016 season. After that, it is prepping for next year.

It has been a very disappointing season for the Bruins. At season’s commencement, the UCLA Football team was chosen to win the Pac-12 South Division.

That quickly went south (no pun intended) when their offense, which adopted power schemes, was unable to get things going in the majority of their games in the first half of the season.

Things really got bad when QB Josh Rosen was taken out of the game against Arizona State. A sack in the final quarter was severe enough to cause damage to the nerves in his shoulder and was out for the remainder of the season.

UCLA has won the last three games against Cal. Though the Bruins have not been successful up in the East Bay in recent years, UCLA was able to pull out the win two years ago behind Brett Hundley.
