The South Point Sportsbook in Las Vegas released their win totals for every FBS team in 2017 and UCLA Football is projected to have more wins than last season.

Winning more games than last season is a must for the UCLA Football team. The Bruins went an abysmal 4-8 in 2016 and Bruins everywhere were not happy about that.

Well there is some good news for UCLA fans as Las Vegas is making a claim that the Bruins will have at least three more wins than last year.

The South Point Sportsbook in Las Vegas has UCLA winning 7 games (Over -125, Under +105) this coming fall. It is an improvement, but UCLA needs to do even better.

With new OC Jedd Fisch taking  over the offense, the Bruins are starting from the ground up for the second year in a row. Luckily the Bruins return the very talented Josh Rosen who has recovered from a shoulder injury sustained in 2016.

On defense, DC Tom Bradley seems to have things figured out and should have one of the better defenses in the Pac-12, though they will rely on a lot of young players.

If the Bruins can bring balance to their force, it is possible they get more than seven wins. But that is yet to be seen.
