UCLA vs Pitt Preview & Picks

The Sun Bowl clash between UCLA and Pitt is tipped to hit the Over.

UCLA and Pitt have seen their games pile up points this season and that is unlikely to change here.

We also give UCLA the edge against a Pitt team who have not fared well as a betting underdog.

  • The Over has hit in 8 of Pittsburgh’s 12 games (1 push)
  • UCLA are 5-1-0 ATS in their last 6 wins
  • Pitt are 0-3-0 ATS as a betting underdog this season

Head To Head

  • UCLA lead the all-time series 9-5
  • UCLA won 38-28 when the teams last met in September 1972

UCLA Form

UCLA go into this Sun Bowl having lost two of their last three games to finish the regular season 9-3.

The Bruins opened the season with six consecutive wins – a streak that included victories against ranked opponents.

They beat #15 Washington 40-32 at home, and a week later they knocked off #11 Utah, 42-32.

UCLA’s streak was halted by a 45-30 loss at #10 Oregon a week later, but they rebounded over the next couple of weeks to beat Stanford 38-13 and Arizona State 50-36.

They lost their next two games though, ending their hopes of a conference championship appearance.

The Bruins were beaten 34-28 at home by Arizona, and then came up short in a 48-45 shootout with #7 USC.

They at least ended the regular season on a positive note though, winning 35-28 at California last time out.

Pitt Form

Pitt endured a disappointing regular season as they finished 8-4, but they did finish on a four-game win streak.

The Panthers started the season ranked #17, but lost two of their first five games to slide out of the top 25.

While one of those defeats was a 34-27 loss to a talented Tennessee team, the other was a 26-21 loss at home to unranked Georgia Tech.

Pitt then ended October with back-to-back losses, losing 24-10 at Louisville and 42-24 at #21 North Carolina.

They have not lost since that defeat to the Tar Heels though.

The Panthers rebounded to knock off #22 Syracuse 19-9, and then backed that up with a 37-7 victory at Virginia and a 28-26 home win against Duke.

Pitt then concluded the regular season with a 42-16 blowout of Miami (FL) that saw them give up most of those points in garbage time.
