Oregon State at UCLA picks and predictions
Prediction
UCLA 70, Oregon State 62
Moneyline
PASS.
Oregon State has won recently but has been destroyed several times on the road in conference play, so it isn't worth a look despite recent success. Similarly, the Bruins (-610) are far too expensive to suggest.
Against the spread
BET OREGON STATE +10.5 (-114).
The Beavers, simply put, are playing well. They beat Arizona State and Arizona, both as an underdog. Although those were at home, they are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 conference road games.
UCLA hasn't played well at home either. It is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 home games and 1-4 ATS in its last 4 games as a favorite as well. The Bruins have scored over 65 in just 3 of their last 8 games.
Take OREGON STATE +10.5 (-114).

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 125.5 (-114).
There are 2 completely different styles of basketball here as the Bruins are 6-14 O/U, while the Beavers are 14-5 O/U. However, UCLA has been trending towards more scoring, going Over in 2 of its last 3 games.
Oregon State has gone Over in 5 of it last 6 and in 3 straight, scoring at least 80 in 3 of its last 5 and allowing at least 80 in 3 of 5 as well. The lack of defense from the Beavers should help jolt the Bruins offense.
Take OVER 125.5 (-114).
