The Washington Huskies will travel to beautiful Los Angeles to take on the UCLA Bruins in a Pac-12 college football matchup on Friday night. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our college football odds series, which includes a Washington-UCLA prediction and pick, laid out below.

Washington has opened their season 4-0, including an upset victory over Michigan State in week three. Head coach Kalen DeBoer has turned this team around in his first season at the helm, already matching last season's win total. Now, Washington is ranked in the top 20, and primed for a Pac-12 championship.

UCLA is also 4-0, surviving a week three scare against South Alabama. The Bruins and head coach Chip Kelly opened Pac-12 play with a convincing 45-17 victory over Colorado last weekend. As expected with a Chip Kelly team, this offense is explosive and capable of scoring points in bunches.
