Not only did both teams in this Saturday's matchup win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread.

Anyone thinking of taking UCLA against the spread should keep this in mind: the team hasn't covered the last three times they've played Oregon State.
Keep an eye on the end zone in Saturday's game as the two teams haven't had much trouble getting there this season. The Bruins know how to score this season, having averaged 4 touchdowns per game. However, it's not like the Beavers struggle in that department as they've been averaging even better at 5.2 per game. It's looking like the end zone's going to be a busy place on Saturday.
