Maryland vs UCLA Pick & Prediction - 10/18/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
Maryland and UCLA will square off in the Big Ten on Saturday night. The Terrapins are 4-2 going into this game and will try to deny UCLA their third straight win against Big Ten competition. The Terps will also be looking to end a two-game losing streak when they take the field at the Rose Bowl. Here, I break down this matchup and bring you my Maryland vs UCLA prediction for Saturday's game.
Maryland’s Malik Washington has thrown for 1,506 yards on 137/220 passing with 10 touchdowns and two interceptions so far this season. He has been accurate and relatively mistake-free. He will need to stay that way to keep up with the recent offensive output of the Bruins.
UCLA relies on Nico Iamaleava at the quarterback position. He has amassed 1,134 passing yards, nine touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also has four rushing touchdowns. He has five touchdown passes and no interceptions during UCLA's two-game winning streak.
Score Projection: Maryland 24 – UCLA 31
Win Probability: Maryland 43%, UCLA 57%
UCLA is playing like a completely different football team of late. They are moving the ball more effectively, cutting back on turnovers, and finding more stops on defense. I expect those things to continue for the most part. I recommend laying the points with a UCLA team that has all of the momentum coming into this Big Ten contest.
