The UCLA Bruins obviously have the ability to blow the doors off here, but this is a bit of a letdown spot given the teams they’ve played previously. The UC Davis Aggies are an above average offensive club, and they’re inside the top-100 in field goal percentage allowed. UC Davis has also held its own on the road this season and loses in the underdog role by an average of just 3.7 points. Lot of free buckets here. Give me UC Davis.
