\"Stanford<\/a>
The Stanford Cardinal blanked the UCLA Bruins 35-0 in last year's meeting at the Rose Bowl<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

UCLA remains on the road this week and is coming off a 27-19 win over the Oregon State Beavers as 4.5-point underdogs.\u00a0 The Bruins have failed to cover the number in the last two meetings with Stanford, including a 35-0 blanking at home as 5.5-point underdogs.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is ranked 28th nationally in rushing offense and will face the top-ranked rush defense nationally.\u00a0 The last seven times UCLA has captured its first conference game of the season it has gone on to become bowl eligible.\u00a0 Over the last two-plus seasons, UCLA is 1-7 ATS in Weeks 5 through 9.<\/p>\n

The Bruins are 12-0 under current head coach Rick Neuheisel when holding an opponent under 20 points, but that\u2019s not likely to happen against this week\u2019s opponent.\u00a0 UCLA has defeated four of its last eight top-10 ranked opponents.\u00a0 Junior tailback Johnathan Franklin leads the rushing game in gaining 303 yards this season.\u00a0 He led the attack last year with 1,127 yards, which was the 10th-best season in school history.<\/p>\n

Stanford enjoyed a bye week after capturing a 37-10 win over Arizona as 9.5-point road favorites.\u00a0 The Cardinal have won 11 straight games, while also proving victorious in seven straight home games.\u00a0 The program is 18-2 in its last 20 games inside Stanford Stadium.\u00a0 Offensively, the team ranks ninth in scoring, averaging 46.0 points a game.\u00a0 The Cardinal have scored 40 or more points in 12 times in the last 29 games.\u00a0 Stanford has been incredible balanced in averaging 196 yards on the ground to help quarterback Andrew Luck exploit opponents through the air.\u00a0 Over the last two-plus seasons, the program is 16-6 ATS as a favorite.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal will likely light up the scoreboard in averaging 38.6 points a game over their last 19 home games, while allowing 22.1.\u00a0 Stanford will be playing without the services of star linebacker Shayne Skov, who was lost for the season with a left knee injury.\u00a0 Luck has still orchestrated his team to three wins to start the season, outscoring opponents by an incredible 138-27 margin.\u00a0 He has thrown for 786 yards and eight touchdowns and gained another 52 yards on the ground.\u00a0 Dating back to the 2000 season, Stanford has tallied a 6-9 record in games following bye weeks.\u00a0 Last season, the Cardinal defeated Washington State, 38-28 following its bye week.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Cardinal due to their 5-0-1 ATS mark in conference action, while the Bruins are 0-4 ATS in October.<\/p>\n
