Buy Razor Ray’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The Arizona State Sun Devils may be ranked lower than the Bruins entering Week 13, but they\u2019re one-and-a-half point favorites with the contest just a few days away. ASU has the lead over UCLA and the USC Trojans for the division by one game, making this as important of a game as it has had all year.<\/p>\n With this game approaching, the Sun Devils are riding a six-game winning streak against conference competition. Their only losses are to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the then-No. 5 Stanford Cardinal, which is why they\u2019ve remained nationally relevant all year for the first time in a while.<\/p>\n On the season, Arizona State is 10th in scoring at 42.3 points per game. It is 22nd in passing with 292.6 yards per contest, and 55th in rushing at 182.7 per outing. Defensively, ASU is allowing just 24.4 points per game, which is good enough for 45th in the nation. If this weekend\u2019s battle in Pasadena ends up being a close one, the question becomes: Who has the edge? First a foremost, consider home-field advantage. ASU\u2019s only conference loss on the year was on the road\u2014a 14-point loss to Stanford\u2014and the Bruins haven\u2019t lost a home game in nearly an entire calendar year.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s also consider some recent trends. Arizona State is just 2-8 against the spread in its last 10 meetings with UCLA, while the Bruins are 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 games overall.<\/p>\n Arizona State has been very good lately defensively, but it\u2019s the offense that will need a better showing against UCLA. Against Oregon State, Taylor Kelly (QB, ASU) had just 183 yards throwing with zero touchdowns and two interceptions. A big reason for this is the team\u2019s blocking up front. The Sun Devils have allowed eight sacks in their last two outings, which is something the Bruins will look to exploit early and often.<\/p>\n Since losing to Stanford and Oregon in consecutive weeks, the Bruins have scored at least 30 points per contest in each game. Additionally, the score has gone over the projected number seven out of UCLA\u2019s last eight games. ASU also has a tendency go over the projected score, as nine of its last 12 games overall went over, as well as seven of its last nine on grass.<\/p>\n Expect a high-scoring affair between these two squads, but don\u2019t be shocked if UCLA squeaks out a close upset.<\/p>\n Prediction: UCLA 34 \u2013 Arizona State 30<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ASU vs UCLA NCAA Football Odds Week 13 features two teams playing in Pasadena who are fighting for a spot in the Pac-12 championship.

\nThese may just sound like numbers to those who are casually watching, but there\u2019s one very important thing to note: Those numbers aren\u2019t too far off from UCLA\u2019s averages, which should cause for a close game on Saturday.<\/p>\nUCLA<\/h3>\n
