The junior play caller played well, but couldn\u2019t get the job done late in the game despite going  17-of-26 for 264 yards and two touchdowns. UCLA never led, but Brehaut nearly brought his team back from a 31-14 deficit.<\/p>\n<p>If Prince does indeed miss this game, UCLA will be in a tough place to start the season, especially if they lose this Saturday. <\/p>\n<p>San Jose State on the other hand, is primed for a victory against UCLA, and if they can just get a little bit out of their starting San quarterback Matt Faulkner who  made his debut last week and completed 11-of-21 passes for 161 yards, they will have a great chance to win this game. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The most important piece for UCLA will be running back Johnathan Franklin. Franklin looked like a beast in the team\u2019s first game, rushing for 128 yards and a touchdown. If he can replicate any resemblance of that, UCLA is far and away the best team in the matchup.<\/p>\n<p>The tale of this game will be how both teams respond to their Week-1 failures. <\/p>\n<p>If UCLA&#8217;s defense can rebound from facing Houston\u2019s fast-paced attack led by quarterback Case Keenum, Faulkner\u2019s inexperience should by a blessing for UCLA defenders.<\/p>\n<h3>NCAA Gambling Trends:<\/h3>\n<p>SJST are 2-9 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.<br \/>\nSJST are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games.<br \/>\nSJST are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games on grass.<br \/>\nUnder is 24-9 in UCLA last 33 home games.<br \/>\nUnder is 17-7 in UCLA last 24 games on grass.<br \/>\nUCLA are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt&#8217;s Prediction: UCLA 28, San Jose State 14 \u2013 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it\u2019s all said and done, UCLA is the better team with the better coaching staff and they are likely to come out on top. The Spartans just don\u2019t seem to have anything they can throw at a team from the Pac-12 that will make in difference, and I expect this game to get pretty ugly fast. <\/p>\n<p>However, I don&#8217;t think the Bruins are good enough to be a three-touchdown favorite against anyone right now.<\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR\u00a0<a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
