Buffaloes open as 17-point underdogs against UCLA
Peter Brouillet-USA TODAY SportsFor one final time, the Buffs will take on the UCLA Bruins in Pac-12 play. As of now, Vegas has the Buffs pegged as 17-point underdogs.
The Bruins are currently 5-2 and ranked 23rd in the AP Poll, with losses to Utah and Oregon State. The Buffs are coming off a bye, so they should be fresh and ready to take on a very good UCLA squad.
It’s hard to blame the oddsmakers for making UCLA such a heavy favorite after the Buffs blew a 29-point lead to 1-5 Stanford. To add insult to injury, the Bruins just crushed Stanford, 42-6, this past weekend.
