Gambling911.com anticipates Bruins -4 on the UCLA vs. Marquette Saturday game.
UCLA beat Marquette on the road last season by nine points as a -5 favorite.
The Bruins last game versus Washington was forfeited due to UW's Covid issues. It was the first game cancellation to result in a forfeit this season.
Though UCLA owns an 8-1 record Straight Up, they are just 4-4 Against The Spread.
As for Marquette, Kam Jones scored 15 points, Oso Ighodaro blocked a potential game-winning shot in the final seconds and the Golden Eagles edged Kansas State 64-63 in the Big East/Big 12 Battle.
Marquette is 8-2 Straight Up but 5-5 Against The Spread.
UCLA has won all of its games this season by more than the current spread with the lone loss being against mighty Gonzaga. In fact, all but one win was by 9 or more points.
After a win, Marquette had gone 4-9 Against The Spread last season. As an underdog, they are 12-22-0 Straight Up.
As a favorite, UCLA is 51-15-0 Straight Up. With Rest Advantage, something they certainly have had, UCLA is just 9-16 Against The Spread.
As an Away Favorite since 2015, UCLA is just 8-17 Against The Spread.
We are giving Marquette a slight edge here if the line is +4.5 or greater.
