Josh Rosen and the offensively explosive UCLA Bruins will look to contradict the College Football odds against the Stanford Cardinal, as the two longtime Pac-12 rivals square off in their Week 4 match-up on Saturday.
Both teams will be looking to get back in the win column after losing their respective Week 3 duels, but only one can be the favorite, and this time around the honor goes to Stanford at -7.5. Now, let’s find out what’s going to go down when these Pac-12 rivals square off at Stanford Stadium with this contest airing live on ESPN.
“I have no doubt that our team will come back strong,” Bruins head coach Jim Mora said, “they’ll find a way to put the disappointment behind them and get back at it and work.”
For the season, Rosen is completing a solid 65.0 percent of his passes on the season with 13 touchdowns and just the two picks he tossed last weekend. Defensively, the Bruins are allowing their opponents to average a whopping 38.3 ppg and 515.3 total yards per game.

Why Bet the Stanford Cardinal College Football Odds?
The best reason to bet on Stanford in this contest is that they’re playing at home and have a solid defense. Unfortunately, Stanford couldn’t put enough points on the board to get past the San Diego State Aztecs in their 20-17 Week 3 loss despite getting a phenomenal 184 rushing yards and two touchdowns from running back Bryce Love on just 13 carries. “I hope we didn’t take them lightly,” Stanford coach David Shaw told reporters Saturday, “but I didn’t do a good job of getting us ready to play a very good, very physical football team.” Quarterback Keller Chryst was awful in completing just 8 of 19 passes for 56 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Stanford lost the turnover battle 3-0 and lost their second straight games this season despite having a solid defense that is limiting the opposition to just 23.0 points per game.Team Statistics

Why Bet the UCLA Bruins College Football Odds at +7.5?
The best reason to be on UCLA is that they’ve been putting plenty of points on the board this season. Despite losing to Memphis 48-45, this past Saturday, the Bruins have scored at least 45 points in all three of their games this season. Unfortunately, the Bruins gave up more than they put on the board in their 48-45 Week 3 loss to Memphis. Quarterback Josh Rosen completed 34 of 56 passes for 463 yards and four touchdowns, but also tossed two costly interceptions in the loss. UCLA’s defense was almost non-existent as they allowed Tigers quarterback Riley Ferguson to toss a whopping six TD passes in the loss.
“I have no doubt that our team will come back strong,” Bruins head coach Jim Mora said, “they’ll find a way to put the disappointment behind them and get back at it and work.”
For the season, Rosen is completing a solid 65.0 percent of his passes on the season with 13 touchdowns and just the two picks he tossed last weekend. Defensively, the Bruins are allowing their opponents to average a whopping 38.3 ppg and 515.3 total yards per game.
