Gameday is officially here Bruins fans! As UCLA looks to extend their winning streak to three games. Maryland is also looking to avoid a three game losing streak of their own. Both teams are trending in opposite directions. But do not let that fool you into thinking Maryland is a cakewalk of a game. They are two 4th quarter collapses away from being 6-0 and possibly being ranked as a top 10 team.
Mike Locksley has the Terrapins playing great football. If they are able to solve their 4th quarter struggles they will be right back in the Big Ten race and competing with the best. UCLA will need to bring their best game as they look to continue the Tim Skipper era in style. Skipper wants Bruins fans at the stadium loud and proud.

Now, let's get to the odds and predictions. The game is currently running at UCLA -3 and the over/under at 52.5. The points have remained the same, but the spread did drop from UCLA at -3.5. This signals some betting leaning towards Maryland. With that being said, I expect Jerry Neuhesiel to continue his playcalling masters and Kevin Coyle and Skipper to divulge enough of a plan to contain Malik Washington and the Terps offense.
Prediction: UCLA 34 - Maryland 31 (spread is a push, points go over).
