The UCLA Bruins appear to be peaking at the right time, and they come into today's game versus Stanford off five consecutive wins. The Cardinal have really struggled this season, and prior to last week's win at Cal, they had lost three straight on the road. I like the Bruins as they have a lot more to play for down the stretch.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Stanford Offense - The Cardinal own the Pac-12's lowest scoring offense, averaging just 25.2 points per game. It won't help matters that their top playmaker Ty Montgomery is out with a shoulder injury.

2. Quarterbacks - Brett Hundley has thrown for 20 TDs and just five picks, while Kevin Hogan has thrown for just 15 TDs and eight picks. Hundley has also been a force in the running game, running for 566 yards and eight TDs.

3. X-Factor - The Cardinal are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Selection: This is a play on the UCLA Bruins (10*)
