Arizona State at California

The Cal Golden Bears lost a lot from a year ago, and it is going to be a long season as they are just 7-12 on the season. That only tells part of the story as Cal has dropped five straight in the conference by an average margin of -19 points per game. There is nothing average about Arizona State. This is a team that can put up points in a hurry, and has a tremendous "A" game, one that has been good enough to beat Kansas. They have also held 9 of their last 12 opponents to 45% shooting or less, and this is a Cal team that has shot 42% or less in five straight games, including an average of 33% in their last two. There is a lot of daylight between these teams, so look for Arizona State to come away with a big win and cover.
