Betting Pick & Score Prediction

The UCLA Bruins are going to run all over the Colorado Buffaloes in this game. This is not going to be a pretty home opener for the Buffaloes. The UCLA offense is just way too much, especially for a struggling Colorado team that is not ready to defense. Look for Colorado to get back on track a little bit, but not before they lose their fourth straight Pac-12 game. Lonzo Ball and T.J. Leaf help lead the Bruins to a 20+ point win. The final bet for this game on Thursday night is the UCLA Bruins -5.5 over the Colorado Buffaloes on Thursday night in College Basketball.
