This UCLA vs Stanford game could be one of those games that seem easy for one team and an ordeal for the other because of the realities that each team is in. This time, it seems that it will not be difficult for the Bruins, who in theory are doing much better than the Cardinals.

UCLA is considered one of the best teams in the country, but playing against temas in the Top 10, they have not done well at all. The team lost to Illinois 79-70 (#16 seed in the country) and to Baylor (#5 seed in the country) 80-75. Both of those have not been bad games for the Bruins, but they have been lacking that last stretch or as many say, “a day late and a dollar short”.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. is the team’s points leader (16.7 average points), whohas curiously finished most of his games with less than 20 points. Only in the last game he played, which was an 81-60 victory against Bellarmine, he scored 27 points. The Mexican-American’s contribution is greater in the generation of play, as he has dedicated himself to assisting more than scoring, in which he is very consistent (he averages 2.6 assists per game).
By now, those two games they lost in November should have awaken the team and set clear their intention not to lose again, because even though they lead their conference, they can’t relax with the amount of competition they have and that they will face.
Betting on Stanford Cardinal
- Season record: 3-4
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (To be defined)
Stanford has not been having a good time: They have not been able to win consistently, and they have already a losing record. The bad news is that they have a tough schedule ahead of them, and the game against the Bruins does not come at a good time.
Harrison Ingram is the most prominent player they have, and the one who also stands up for the team. In the 56-48 loss to Memphis, he had the most points (10) and assists (4). The Cardinals are not a strong team offensively, especially when they struggle to generate play against teams that play well under the backboard.
Stanford only aspires to continue to accumulate good results. The thing is that they are playing against a direct division rival that will bring them back to their reality. This game will make them realize what they are going to be able to do this season.
JefeBet Prediction
This UCLA vs Stanford game will not be an easy match for either of them. UCLA has more arguments to defeat Stanford, a team that will give them fight because they are a conference rival, and an upset would be important to gain confidence.
We believe that UCLA will win because, unfortunately, Stanford does not have so many defensive tools and has a hard time in games against better-formed teams. It is not the most attractive game of the day, especially because both are not at their best moment and both are under a lot of pressure. Who do you like? For us UCLA will win the game.
