The UCLA Bruins are 5-1 ATS as home favorites of 12.5 or more points this season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Oregon State has alternated wins and losses over its last four games, as it attempts to build off a 76-66 road victory over the USC Trojans last Thursday, while going UNDER the betting total of 146.\u00a0 The Beavers are now focused on trying to sweep the Bruins for the first time since 1988, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college basketball betting picks.\u00a0 Senior guard Roberto Nelson leads the Pac-12 Conference in scoring, as he enters averaging 20.6 points a contest.\u00a0 Oregon State is 2-0 ATS as road underdogs of 12.5 to 15 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Bears are 36-89 SU all-time in this series, including a dismal 7-50 record when playing in Southern California.\u00a0 Oregon State did manage to pick up a 71-67 home victory over UCLA on Super Bowl Sunday, with five players finishing in double figures.\u00a0 The team has out-rebounded 12 of its 15 conference foes this season, while it has compiled a 14-1 SU record when shooting a higher percentage than all of its opponents during the 2013-14 campaign.<\/p>\n

UCLA will close out its regular season schedule at Pauley Pavilion, as it attempts to bounce back from a disappointing 87-83 overtime setback to the Oregon Ducks as 3.5-point home favorites.\u00a0 The Bruins played that affair without the services of starters Jordan Adams and Kyle Anderson\u2014both are expected to return to the floor in this affair.\u00a0 \u00a0 The team has scored at least 75 points in each of its last 16 home games\u2014the longest active streak among Division I programs.\u00a0 UCLA is 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS as home favorites of 12.5 or more points this season.<\/p>\n

The Bruins are in sole possession of second place in the Pac-12 standings, which has been made possible by ranking eighth in the country in averaging 82.9 points per game.\u00a0 UCLA\u2019s roster features seven players who have scored at least 20 points in one career game, which is important to consider when looking over the college basketball odds page.\u00a0 Adams has scored in double figures in 24 of the team\u2019s 27 games this season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 6-2 in the Bruins\u2019 last eight home games.<\/p>\n
