UCLA vs Washington Prediction 

UCLA comes into this matchup on a three game losing streak and they have allowed 48, 28, and 56 points during that span. The Bruins have really struggled on offense over their last four games and might be without their starting quarterback here. Washington has had plenty of issues on the road, as they have lost to Michigan and Wisconsin in their last two road games + nearly lost to a bad Maryland team before that. The Huskies have a very solid quarterback, but they have scored just 17 points in their last two games away from home. I know all of that creates some doubt with Washington here, but I can’t back UCLA with the possibility of a backup quarterback. Take Washington on the road.
