Free Denver Pioneers vs UCLA Bruins NCAAB Prediction:
Free Spread Prediction: Denver Pioneers +27
If you’re deciding whether to down a bet vs the spread in this matchup, we recommend taking the Denver Pioneers to cover as +27 point underdogs. One thing that often causes problems for teams who are heavy underdogs is when they are matched up against a team that can dictate the pace of play. However, both Denver and UCLA come into today’s game near the NCAA average in possessions per game. Given that style of place won’t be an issue for the Pioneers and the fact that they have 4-1 vs the spread in their last 5 games as underdogs, we like them to cover the spread on the road.
