UCLA doesn't deserve to be favored by 12.5-points in this game. The Bruins have opened the season 1-4, and it doesn't look good for this team going forward. They stated the year with back-to-back home losses against Loyola-Marymount and Middle Tenn St, went on the road and beat a terrible Chaminade team by 32, then lose ugly to Kansas and UCLA.
Pepperdine has a 3-2 overall record, including a nice 66-69 road win at Arizona St earlier this season. a game in which they were receiving 14.5-points. Playing in the WCC the Waves get to face some good teams in Gonzaga, BYU, and Sain Mary's, but rarely do they get a shot to play a program like UCLA. Expect Pepperdine to be extremely fired up for this game, while UCLA likely still has their head between their legs from the way this season has started.
If you don't include the Bruins win over Chaminade, they are really stinking it up on the defensive end. Every other team has shot 46% or better, with Middle Tenn St shooting a ridiculous 71.4%. UCLA's lack of defense should allow Pepperdine to keep this score close and make a run to possibly win it late. The Waves also appear to have an edge on the boards. Pepperdine comes in grabbing nearly 39 rpg, while UCLA averages just 31.8 rpg. UCLA's low rebounding numbers goes right along with the lack of effort they are playing with on defense.
Pepperdine is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. PAC-12, while UCLA is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. WCC.
