UCLA vs. Arizona: Last-Minute Spread Info, Line, BCS Impact and Predictions
The UCLA Bruins and Arizona Wildcats are meeting Thursday night it was is sure to be another intriguing and exciting Pac-12 matchup in prime time.
Even though the Bruins are 3-3 and the Wildcats are 1-5, there is still a lot to look at in this game, as well as a lot to play for on both sidelines.
The Bruins are coming off a rather disappointing loss to Stanford and the Wildcats are coming off a very disappointing season.
Arizona's only win has come against Northern Arizona in Week 1 of the season, so needless to say, both teams are looking for a win here.

BCS/Top 25 Poll Implications:
Right now there don't seem to be any implications in this game whatsoever. That being said, there is always pride on the line.
Keys to UCLA Win:
Quarterback Richard Brehaut needs to be the key to this game for UCLA. He hasn't put up incredible numbers this season and has been rather pedestrian. He needs to step up and have a big game.
Keys to Arizona Win:
Quarterback Nick Foles is the man. He's thrown for 2,255 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions on the year so far. He's a huge factor for Arizona, but he needs to lead this team.
Prediction:
I expect Arizona to use the home-field advantage to their advantage, ironically enough, They need to stop sliding and I think this will be the game they do.
