UCLA travels to Washington for a crucial Pac-12 matchup on Friday, November 15 at 9:00 ET from Husky Stadium. Washington enters as 3.5-point favorites with a total of 46.5 points.

UCLA has struggled offensively this season, averaging just 18.8 points and 320 total yards per game. Their rushing attack ranks 122nd in EPA per rush (-0.11). Defensively, they've had trouble getting off the field, allowing a 52.94% third-down conversion rate (133rd nationally) and 252.8 passing yards per game.

Washington quarterback Will Rogers has been exceptional, throwing for 2,343 yards and 13 touchdowns with a 71.4% completion rate. The Huskies' defense ranks in the top-42 in both yards and points allowed, surrendering just 5.6 yards per pass (6th nationally).

Key factors favoring Washington:

• 19-0 straight up in their last 19 home games
• Top-40 in net yards per play, offensive and defensive success rate
• Strong pass rush with 106 hurries this season
• UCLA's offensive line ranks 124th in pass protection

The Huskies' balanced attack and home-field advantage should prove too much for UCLA's struggling defense. Rogers should find success against a Bruins secondary that ranks 114th in EPA per pass.

Prediction: Washington -3.5 (-112)
