Cal State Fullerton Titans vs UCLA Bruins Point Spread Picks

This is a sandwich game for UCLA that means more to the visitors. UCLA is off games against Notre Dame and North Carolina, with a Pac 12 battle on deck against Washington. And they aren't playing well, losing the last two contests scoring 61 and 64 points. The Bruins committed 22 turnovers and shot 4-of-21 from three-point range in a 74-64 loss to the Tar Heels in Las Vegas the last game. It was the fourth time in the last seven games they've scored 64 points or less. UCLA is 9-20 ATS against teams that commit 14 turnovers or fewer per game. They face a Cal State-Fullerton squad that prefers a slow pace, #341 in the nation in scoring (59.9 ppg). Cal State-Fullerton is on a 41-18-1 run UNDER the total, 36-15-1 UNDER as a dog, plus 37-18-1 UNDER after a defeat. Senior forward Jackson Rowe is back after missing the first 11 games and had 15 points the last contest, so back the big dog in a defensive duel. Play Cal State-Fullerton and the UNDER.

UCLA certainly has the name, but at 5-2 they have not impressed. They were beaten in both games vs. good teams, and have not recorded a quality win yet this season, playing below the line in their last three. CS Fullerton has come up empty on the road where they are 0-4 to start the season, but have more than held their own vs. USC losing by just 4, and at new Mexico where they lost by just 8. The Titans were +16 at New Mexico, and I don't think UCLA is as good as the Lobos are at The Pit and we have the same line, while the Titans did well in a very hostile environment. The Titans have also more than held their own when stepping up in class and taking on the PAC-12, where they own a 5-1 ATS mark in their last six. There are too many points here, so back CS Fullerton.
