UCLA Bruins

UCLA football won three games in 2025 and finished 9.67 units up on the moneyline, a return only one FBS team beat. The Bruins’ 42-37 win over Penn State at +1500 paid 15 units on its own.

October, and one game in it

UCLA started 0-4 and finished 0-4. In between it went 3-1 in October, and that month returned 16.67 moneyline units. The first win carried the month: Penn State came in as a 24.5-point favorite and lost 42-37, a +1500 ticket. The next week UCLA won 38-13 at Michigan State at +210, then 20-17 over Maryland.

Across the 11 priced games, one unit on the Bruins finished 9.67 up. Without the Penn State game it was 5.33 down. The same game is why the home moneyline shows 11.57 units over six; only one FBS team made more at home.

Favored four times, covered none

UCLA was favored in four games and won one. It lost 30-23 at UNLV at -2.5, 35-10 at home to New Mexico at -15.5 and 28-21 to Nebraska at -2.5, and the Maryland win missed by 1.5. No FBS team had a lower cover rate as favorite; ten others also went without one. As underdogs the Bruins covered four of eight. The season reads 4-8 against the spread.

Scoring

UCLA scored 18.17 points a game and allowed 33.42. Ten FBS teams scored fewer and 11 allowed more. Six overs, six unders.
