I’ve been very impressed by Washington and Penix Jr., however remember their greatest win of the season got here at house towards a shorthanded Michigan State crew, which was down two defensive starters and its high extensive receiver. Professional bettors got here in early on the facet of the Bruins and we’ve seen the opening variety of +3.5 guess right down to +2.5.

Betting on the NFL?

I’m at all times cautious of groups enjoying their first highway recreation a month into the season as a result of they are typically overvalued by the betting market. I feel that’s the case right here with Washington as I make this line nearer to UCLA -1. I’m backing the Bruins as brief house canine. 

The play: UCLA +3
