UCLA is one of the top teams in the country, and their defense will be the biggest difference on Saturday.  Back the Bruins as road favorites against Pac-10 rivals California.

UCLA is 13-1 on the season and a perfect 5-0 on the road. The Bruins are a perfect 2-0 straight up and against the spread at Cal the last three seasons.

UCLA's defense is the difference here. The Bruins are allowing just 61.2 points per game this season. Cal has not faced an offense as balanced or a defense as solid. The Bears cannot compete against the most talented team it has faced this season. Lay the points.

Free Pick: UCLA -5 (-110)
