\"The<\/a>
The UCLA Bruins are 3-0 SU in this series since the Colorado Buffaloes landed in the Pac-12 Conference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Colorado has won three games in a row, including a 91-65 victory over the Washington Huskies as 7.5-point home favorites Sunday, while going OVER the betting total in each of those contests.\u00a0 The Buffaloes have three probable starters averaging in double figures, with junior guard Askia Booker leading the way at 14.2 points a contest, which is important to consider when making your college basketball betting picks.\u00a0 He has also surpassed last year\u2019s season total in assists.\u00a0 Colorado is 1-4 SU and 3-2 ATS as underdogs this season.<\/p>\n

The Buffaloes have compiled a 4-3 SU record since star Spencer Dinwiddie was lost for the season due to injury\u2014averaging 69.3 points and shooting 45.4 percent from the field over that span.\u00a0 Dinwiddie not only led the team in scoring, assists, steals and free throw percentage\u2014he also paced the squad from beyond the arc in knocking down 41.3 percent of his shots in that area.<\/p>\n

UCLA is 4-1 SUATS over its last four games, as it returns home after picking up a 83-73 victory over the USC Trojans as 9.5-point road favorites last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total for the first time in four contests.\u00a0 The Bruins have won all three meetings in this series since the Buffaloes joined the Pac-12 Conference, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is led by the play of guard Jordan Adams, who is averaging 16.8 points per game.\u00a0 UCLA is 6-2 SU and 4-4 ATS as home favorites of 9.5 to 12 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Bruins are hoping that forward Kyle Anderson can continue shooting well from beyond the arc, as he\u2019s made 20 of 40 three-point attempts during the 2013-14 campaign\u2014a much better result than his 21.1 percent performance from that area during his first year in Westwood.\u00a0 UCLA has a lot of offensive firepower\u2014leading directly to averaging 82.9 points through 23 games.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Bruins due to their 20-8 ATS mark in their last 28 home games versus teams with a losing road record.<\/p>\n
