The Chip Kelly era has not gotten off to a good start at UCLA and now the Bruins are completely desperate after dropping their first four games of the season. The bad news is that UCLA is facing a legitimate playoff contender when they host the 10th-ranked Washington Huskies in their Week 6 Pac-12 pairing.While an outright upset looks like an impossibility, let’s find out if the Bruins can cover the chalk as three-touchdown home underdogs when this affair gos down live from the famed Rose Bowl on Saturday night.
Why should you back the winless Bruins in this contest? The only two reasons would be that they’re playing at home and getting three touchdowns. UCLA put up a good effort in their last game and even had a 16-14 lead over Colorado early in the third quarter. Unfortunately, they collapsed immediately afterward in giving up 24 unanswered points to the Buffaloes to lose 38-16 and never come close to covering the spread as a 9-point road dog last Friday night. The Bruins were outgained by the Buffs 477-289 and only managed 15 first downs in the loss. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson has completed an uninspiring 52.7% of his passes for three touchdowns and two interceptions while averaging just 165.0 passing yards per game.
