College basketball picks for UCLA vs. Colorado
Before tuning into the Colorado vs. UCLA game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine’s advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. The model enters Week 16 of the season 71-42 on all top-rated college basketball picks this season, returning more than $1,700 for $100 players. Anybody who has followed it has seen huge returns.
For UCLA vs. Colorado, the model projects the Bruins to cover the spread as 6.5-point road favorites. These two teams met on Jan. 14, with UCLA capturing the 68-54 victory at home as an 11.5-point favorite. Jaime Jaquez Jr. had a strong game with 23 points and 13 rebounds, and the fourth-year starter will likely be the focal point of the offensive attack once again on Sunday.
However, UCLA’s defense ruled the day in January, with the Bruins holding the Buffaloes to 30.6% shooting from the floor and forcing 21 turnovers. Mick Cronin’s squad plays aggressively at that end, forcing 16.4 turnovers per game and ranking seventh nationally in points allowed per game (59.8).
Jaquez is averaging 17.0 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this season, but he’s been on a tear of late with at least 20 points and eight rebounds in five of his last six games. The model is projecting that Jaquez leads UCLA in scoring once again on Sunday and that the Bruins cover the spread in well over 50% of simulations. Stream the game here.
