UCLA vs Oregon betting preview and spread analysis as undefeated squad eyes a major upset

Each week we get a little bit closer to the games that matter most.

The College Football Playoffs are closer than you probably realize and we are essentially at the halfway mark for the year.

We will still have the conference championships and a few of the lower-level bowl games, and plenty of great matchups in between.

One of those great matchups happens today as UCLA takes on Oregon.

UCLA comes into the game as the 21st-ranked team in the nation.

The Bruins are 4-0 for the season and currently 2-0 in conference play.

In Week 1, UCLA took on Cal on the road and was able to win 45-24.

Then in Week 2, the Bruins hosted San Diego State University, winning 28-10.

The offense didn’t really get rolling, but their defense was good enough to get the stop.

The Bruins faced Purdue in Week 3, and they got the offense back on track with a 52-38 victory.

Then on the road against Maryland, they had their best game of the season, winning 54-3.

Last week was a bye week, giving them a chance to prepare for this one.

Most of their work has been done on the ground, as Nico Iamaleava has just 820 passing yards and four touchdown passes.

They will need him to be elite against Oregon if they want to pull off an upset.
