Lehigh at UCLA picks and predictions
UCLA 79, Lehigh 52
UCLA (-10000) would set you back 100 times your potential return, which means you'd need to risk $100 for every $1 in profit. That's a terrible long-term betting strategy.
.
Against the spread
UCLA -23.5 (-105) laying the points.
While Lehigh +23.5 (-115) has covered the past 2 games against Georgetown and Columbia, a road game at Pauley is a different animal. The Mountain Hawks will have difficult against the defensive-minded Bruins.
UCLA has covered 2 of 3 games so far, including both outings at home. It has allowed just 45.0 PPG in 2 games at Pauley Pavilion.
Over/Under
UNDER 136.5 (-115) is worth a look, but don't get too carried away.
The Bruins have had a suffocating defense in 2 games at home, allowing just 45.0 PPG. The Under has cashed in all 3 games to date, too, as UCLA's offense has been rather slow and methodical.
For Lehigh, it has cashed low in 2 of 3 games, but the defense has given up 76 or more points in each contest, so be careful.
