Ucla has to travel to altitude to Salt Lake City to play Utah. Cam Rising could play in this game but if he does not, the back-up quaterbacks have proven that they can get the job done. Both teams are physical and have good defenses but Utah is just a little bit better at everything. Utah will control the pace of the game, clock and will have the ball for more time. This will be a close ugly game but the Utes will pull away in the fourth quater to cover the spread and win. The Bruins are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against Utah and Utah are 16-0 SU in their last 16 games at home.
