Washington vs UCLA Prediction & Pick

UCLA's amazing running attack was on display again during a 45-17 rout of the Colorado Buffaloes last week as the Bruins racked up 249 yards on the ground.

UCLA has outscored its four opponents this season 78-21 after halftime with two second-half shutouts under fifth-year head coach Chip Kelly. Against three FBS opponents, the Bruins' offense is averaging 516 yards per game (No. 7). This game will be their first big test of the season, however, so we should learn a lot about them here.

Under first-year coach Kalen DeBoer, the undefeated Huskies are fifth in the country with 530 yards per game and 13th in scoring with 44 points per game. Against three FBS opponents, Washington has averaged 502 yards per game with a pair of power conference wins over Michigan State and last week's Pac-12 opponent Stanford. Huskies QB Michael Penix Jr. is the nation’s top passer with 1,388 passing yards, 9.7 yards per attempt and a 12:1 TD/INT ratio in his first year at Washington after transferring from Indiana.

This game should be close, but UCLA's punishing ground game and stingy defense should help them prevail.

Final Score Prediction: UCLA 30 | Washington 27

UCLA has had success against Washington when playing in Los Angeles. The Bruins have gone 8-1 in the two teams' last 9 meetings at the Rose Bowl.

While still undefeated, unranked UCLA is not getting much media hype. The next three games will determine where the Bruins sit in the Pac-12 pecking order, and this should be a competitive contest.

UCLA's defense has allowed just 290 yards per game vs. FBS opponents, which is 70 yards per game better than Washington's defense this season. The Bruins also have a strong, balanced offense averaging 221 rushing and 295 passing yards per game vs FBS opponents. As such, UCLA is clearly capable of winning and pulling off the minor upset.
