Minnesota Golden Gophers vs UCLA Bruins Prediction & Picks - NCAA
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Picks
The UCLA Bruins will roll into Saturday’s showdown with the Minnesota Golden Gophers looking to enter the winner’s circle after four consecutive losses, three of which were against college football heavyweights. UCLA has now dropped four games in a row following last week’s 27-11 loss to No.7 Penn State Nittany Lions. Averaging 14.0 points per game this season, the Bruins must explore other sources of offense outside their struggling quarterback Ethan Garbers, who has 808 passing yards and three touchdowns in four games. Subbing in for the injured Garbers in the game against Penn State, junior Justyn Martin completed 22 of 30 throws for 167 yards and one touchdown, giving UCLA some hope for the coming games. Minnesota delivered one of the biggest upsets in college football last week, stunning No.11 USC Trojans 24-17. Behind their tenacious defense, the Golden Gophers stifled the high-powered Trojans to 17 points, 13 points below their season average of 30.8 points per game.

Our Minnesota Golden Gophers vs UCLA Bruins Prediction
Minnesota is a good bet to face UCLA on Saturday, riding a massive wave of momentum. Minnesota's vaunted defense will provide problems for an already struggling Bruins’ offense, which ranks among the worst in NCAA football this season. The Golden Gophers are a nightmare matchup for opposition quarterbacks, ranking sixth in overall yards allowed per game (251.2) and second in passing yards (114.2). Ethan Garber will likely return from a foot injury on Saturday, but I believe his presence will not move the needle for UCLA, given his lackluster performance this season. Our betting prediction for Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. UCLA Bruins: Back Minnesota to cover -4.0 points, -110, at Ceasars Sportsbook.
