The UCLA Bruins fired Jim Mora at the end of November following a 28-23 loss to crosstown rival USC. Interim coach Jedd Fisch will lead the team here against Kansas State Wildcats before Chip Kelly takes over the next season. UCLA is just 4-8 ATS on the season, and the coaching carousel will not do the Bruins any favors here.

UCLA has one of the best quarterbacks in the nation in Josh Rosen, but the junior has been hampered by injuries the past two seasons and twice he was unable to finish a game this fall. That was the case when he left the game after getting sacked three times in the first half of a 30-27 win against California his last time out.

The Wildcats finished the regular season on a high note and seek a third straight win here. First they defeated Oklahoma State 45-40 as a 19.5-point underdog on Nov 18 followed by a 20-19 triumph against ISU the following week. Freshman QB Skylar Thompson is 25-for-34 passing in the past two games with four touchdown throws and no interceptions.

UCLA is 6-0 at home and 0-6 everywhere else this season.

My selection is an 8* play on Kansas State Wildcats.
