Why UCLA can cover
The Bruins might have looked their most polished in their Week 1 win, but they were able to generate enough offense to pass the Chanticleers. Dante Moore was the more impressive of the two QBs who played in that game and there are calls for Chip Kelly to tap him as QB1 ahead of Saturday’s game down in San Diego.
UCLA also has history on its side when it comes to this matchup. The Bruins hold a 22-1-1 record against San Diego State dating back to 1922, with their only loss to the Aztecs occurring in 2019. See picks at SportsLine.
Why San Diego State can cover
San Diego State has established a home-field presence since both of its wins this season have occurred at Snapdragon Stadium. That should help them keep this game close so they can cover the spread.
The Aztecs also have a variety of offensive weapons at their disposal. Starting QB Jalen Mayden is also the teams leading rusher, averaging 9.8 yards on the ground through the first two games of the season. He has also found chemistry with former Washington TE Mark Redman, who caught two TD passes in the season opener. See picks at SportsLine.
