Indiana vs UCLA Odds And Spread
3 Keys to Bet on Indiana vs UCLA
1. Indiana Putting Up the Points
It has been an excellent start for Indiana’s offense, including a 31-7 win over FIU and a 77-3 thrashing of Westen Illinois.
It’s good to see the Hoosiers’ offense firing on all cylinders, and it should have the Bruins shaking in their boots. When this team clicks on offense, they can put up big numbers, and there is every right for bettors to be confident.
Kurtis Rourke has been excellent at quarterback, going 30-41 for 448 yards and three touchdowns. It’s a balanced attack with running back Justice Ellison putting up big numbers with 185 yards and two touchdowns.
Coach Curt Cignetti wanted everyone to get in on the scoring action last week.
“I was trying to get a lot of people into the game. We were trying to run there and I wanted to give the third quarterback a chance to throw it once, so we did what we could to keep (the score) down,” Cignetti told college football news outlets. “But I didn’t want them to play down to their standard and I thought we responded (to the message) really well.”
BetUS Sportsbook has the Hoosiers at -3, and that’s a fair line. They have had the benefit of playing twice, as opposed to UCLA’s one game, and having that experience should help them.
The Bruins’ defense is strong, but confidence is king with this team, and they could keep the roll going.

2. Bruins Past First Test
We’re never sure what to make of the Bruins, but beating Hawai’i 16-13 was a solid first game for the Big Ten Conference team.
They love a conference rivalry game, but beating Indiana should prove difficult, so their defense will need to measure up against the dual-threat offense of their opponent.
Ethan Garbers had a busy opening week with 38 passes and he led the team in rushing with seven carries for 47 yards. He could be the difference, but they might need more than one player to do the heavy lifting.
Playing at home gives them a boost, but not enough to be a favorite with college football lines. That’s mostly because Indiana has been unusually brilliant, especially after losing three straight games to end last year.
The winner will have great confidence to make a run at the Big Ten title, so UCLA knows how important it is.
3. Back Indiana in Tight Tussle
We have confidence in Indiana’s 2024 campaign, and it could score a resounding but tight win against UCLA.
There will likely be a touchdown between them, but that’s enough to see bettors cash with the visitors at -3.
The Hoosiers would love to kick off conference play with a win, and although UCLA won its opening game, we weren’t overly impressed.
Over 46 is worth including in college football parlays. Indiana should turn on the offensive jets again, and it could result in a shootout.
