Point Spread: Utah -3.5

Total: 49.5u (Under)

Analysis:

The Utah Utes travel to Pasadena to face the UCLA Bruins in what should be a fascinating Pac-12 (for one last time) matchup to kick off the college football season. This game has significant implications for both teams as they look to start the season strong and establish themselves in the conference pecking order.

Utah, favored by 3.5 points, is likely relying on their historically strong defense and a power-running game. Their success hinges on maintaining that defensive prowess and establishing the run early to control the clock and keep the Bruins' offense off the field. The Utes will want to avoid getting into a shootout.

UCLA, playing at home, will look to leverage their offensive talent. The Bruins will need to find a way to generate explosive plays. However, consistently moving the ball against Utah's defense will be a challenge. A key for UCLA will be winning the turnover battle and special teams execution to steal possessions.

Prediction:

This game sets up to be a hard-fought, physical contest. While UCLA might have some offensive firepower, Utah's defense and running game should prove to be the difference. I expect Utah to control the tempo and wear down the Bruins.
