Forecasts and Wagers for Utah versus UCLA in the Late-Night NCAAF Week 1 Game, Along with Odds Details

Prepare for an exciting night of college football as the UCLA Bruins and the Utah Utes face off at the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, scheduled for just after 11:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, August 30, 2025. The game will be broadcast live on FOX and streamed on FOX ONE.

The game's total is predicted to be Under 49.5 points, with even juice served on either side, indicating a close and potentially low-scoring encounter. UCLA, coached by Deshaun Foster, is expected to cover the +5.5 spread and potentially win the game outright, according to Caesars Sportsbook.

UCLA's last five home games have gone the way of the Under, and their rushing defense could potentially place Utah in multiple third-and-long situations. The Bruins have also seen a shift in their lineup, with former Tennessee signal-caller Nico Iamaleava now featuring for the team.

Utah, representing the Big 12, enters the game as the favourites, with a 3-1-1 record to the Under side over their past five road games. Utah Utes are favoured by 5.5 points, and Kyle Whittingham, who coached the Utes for 20 years in the Pac-12, will be leading them in the Big 12 conference for the first time, starting with this game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl.

The Utah vs UCLA Head to Head record shows that both games in the past year were with Chip Kelly as coach and not Deshaun Foster. The last two games between these two teams resulted in a win for Utah (14-7 in 2023) and a win for UCLA (42-32 in 2022).
