Before making any Pitt vs. UCLA picks or college football predictions for the 2022 Sun Bowl, see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past six-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,000 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. Anyone who has followed the model has seen huge returns.

The model knows that UCLA has been one of the best offenses in the nation this season. The Bruins average 507.8 yards and 39.6 points per game and their core group on that side of the ball has been relatively unaffected by the transfer portal and opt-outs. Quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson has taken all the snaps at practice and appears in line to play despite his NFL draft prospects.

The model also knows that Pitt has one of the nation's stingiest defenses under Narduzzi. The Panthers have only allowed 319.7 yards per game in 2022 and they also have a strong running game to lean on. Israel Abanikanda opted out but Rodney Hammond, Vincent Davis and C'Bo Flemister have all been productive when called upon.

Now, the model has set its sights on UCLA vs. Pitt. We can tell you it is leaning Over the total and it also says one side of the spread has ALL the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any college football picks, and don't forget to stream on Paramount+!
