Saturday is packed with plenty of college football games and other sporting action. However, we have found what we feel are the best bets for Saturday October 25, 2025. Make sure you check out all of our other best bets that we have going on.

My Best Bets

UCLA vs Indiana UCLA +26.5 (Even)
Penguins vs Blue Jackets Penguins Moneyline (-115)
Grizzlies vs Pacers Over 236.5 (-110)

UCLA vs Indiana

The Bruins are a team that has played great lately and have really pushed a lot of teams to their limits. The Hoosiers for their part have have looked impressive in their wins, but even then the Hoosiers have not really been able to dominate teams like a 26.5 point favorite should be doing. That is going to make it harder to see the Hoosiers covering a 26.5 point spread in this game. A good way to look is the Hoosiers against a Spartans defense only put in 38 points and allowed 13 points. The Bruins for their part, though, are coming in after getting a win over Maryland in their last game, but it was only by 3 points. Still, in the Bruins game against the common opponent Michigan State the Bruins put in 38 points and only allowed 13, which is pretty much the exact same as the Hoosiers and that is why I think the Bruins are going to lose this game, but will cover the spread. Check out our full UCLA vs Indiana Pick.

Penguins vs Blue Jackets

The Blue Jackets are playing in back to back games in this game. The downside is for the Columbus team they were completely blown out in their last game. The Blue Jackets defense allowed 5 goals in the losing effort and the offense was only put in a single goal in the game. The Penguins are coming off of a nice win in their last game which seem them dominate the Florida Panthers. The win for Pittsburgh came with a final score of 5-3. Now, the other thing that is really helping drive me to picking the Penguins in this game is the Blue Jackets will most likely have their second string goalie starting in net and that is going to leave Columbus open to a lot of goal scoring chances for the Penguins. Make sure you have all the information with our free Blue Jackets vs Penguins Pick.

Grizzlies vs Pacers

The Grizzlies and the Pacers are definitely a couple of teams that have the potential to put in a lot of points. This is noticed by the Pacers putting a total of 113 points in regular time in their game against the Thunder, before falling in double overtime. The Grizzlies for their part are coming in with 121 points per game on average and that comes with 2 games. The defense for the Memphis team has not really been overly strong and that shows by the 146 points the Heat were able to post against the Grizzlies defense. That type of defense will make it easier to see the Pacers offense putting up some big numbers in regular time and not even having to worry about the potential of overtime.
