No. 8 UCLA enters Saturday's Big Ten matchup at Minnesota with an unbeaten 8-0 record, one of three remaining undefeated Power 4 teams. The Bruins have covered the spread in every game this season. Minnesota, at 4-3, has covered six of seven contests and hosts the game at Huntington Bank Stadium in Minneapolis with kickoff set for noon ET. Temperatures are expected in the 40s.

UCLA opened as a 6-point favorite but the line has moved to -4, with an over/under of 38.5 points. The money line lists UCLA at -185 and Minnesota at +160.

The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates each FBS game 10,000 times, projects the teams to combine for 44 points and favors the over on the total, hitting in 64% of simulations. The model also indicates one side of the spread hits in well over 50% of simulations. SportsLine's model entered Week 10 on an 80-77 run on top-rated college football picks.
