Oregon Now Riding a 4-Game ATS Losing Streak
Oregon (9-11-0 ATS, 11-9-0 O/U) was doing pretty a good job making its betting backers money, but with the Ducks (+150 Moneyline) 3-7-0 ATS in their last 10, this team is now underwater like a duck’s webbed feet. Oregon’s main 8 contributors are C Nate Bittle (12.9 PPG, 7.5 RPG), G Jackson Shelstad (12.7 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.7 APG), G TJ Bamba (10.4 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.6 APG), G Keeshawn Barthelemy (9.6 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.7 APG), F Brandon Angel (9.7 PPG, 3.8 RPG), G Jadrian Tracey (8.2 PPG, 3.3 RPG, 2.2 APG), F Kwame Evans Jr. (6.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG), and F Supreme Cook (6.2 PPG, 2.8 RPG). The Ducks went 12-8 last season in their last year playing in the Pac-12 and 24-12 overall. Oregon (+164 Moneyline) is averaging 77.9 PPG (#98) while allowing 70.3 PPG and averages 36.1 RPG (#169) and 14.9 APG (#130). The Ducks are an impressive 4-1 on the Road.

UCLA Unranked Home Favorites vs Oregon Here
UCLA (10-10-0 ATS, 9-12-0 O/U) will head in here as an Unranked Home Favorite (UHF), a betting pattern many NCAAF and NCAAB bettors are well aware of and one that seems to somehow win more than you would expect. The Bruins (-185 Moneyline) are led by Tyler Bilodeau (13.9 PPG, 4.6 RPG), G Eric Dailey Jr. (12.0 PPG, 4.4 RPG), G Sebastian Mack (10.4 PPG, 2.0 RPG), versatile G Kobe Johnson (7.8 PPG, 5.7 RPG, 3.0 APG), G Dylan Andrews (7.6 PPG, 2.9 APG), G Skyy Clark (7.2 PPG, 2.9 RPG, 2.7 APG), G Lazar Stefanovic (5.5 PPG), C Aday Mara (6.0 PPG, 3.9 RPG), and G Trent Perry (4.2 PPG). UCLA allows only 65.0 PPG and averages 75.9 PPG (#155) and averages 32.7 RPG (#365) and 15.7 APG (Tied-#84). The Bruins (-198 Moneyline) head in on a nice 4-game Winning Streak and are currently projected by Joe Lunardi to make the NCAA Tournament as a No. 7 seed.

Oregon vs UCLA Prediction
We have already seen 2 Unranked Home Favorites on the betting board this week, Arizona covering and winning in OT against No. 3 Iowa State on Monday night and Maryland vs Wiconsin on Wednesday night. In the last 10 series meetings, both teams have won 5 times, but after Oregon covered ATS 4 straight, UCLA has come back and won the money the last 6 times. Cha-ching. And after 4 straight Unders in the series, the Over is 3-0-0 in the last 3 meetings. This Oregon vs UCLA NCAAB pick will back the Bruins because of that UHF status, because they have won 4 straight overall and because they have covered ATS the last 6 vs the Ducks. Also a factor here is Oregon’s 4-game ATS Losing Streak, so many things here point to backing the Home team at Westwood.
Kevin’s Prediction: UCLA -4
