Oregon State will kick off its season at home vs. California. Oregon comes off a 5-7 season last year, and failed to make a Bowl Game. Cal made it to a Bowl game last season at 6-6, but lost their Bowl game and finished with a losing season at 6-7. The Oregon State offensive line is probably the team's weakest link right now, and that is not a good outlook, as they will also be breaking in a freshman quarterback. California is going to win with its defense. This is a team that is going to slug it out in the trenches and turn games into grind-it-out possessions. I think both defenses are ahead of the offenses here. Make the play UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
Oregon State at California
Oregon State is playing well with a dynamite one-two running back punch of Damien Martinez (497 yards, 6.8 ypc) and Deshaun Fenwick (254 yards, 5.9 ypc). And the defense is 23rd in the country on third down (32.00%), 28th in yards given up, and 21st in points allowed (17.8 ppg). Cal likes to run the football, as well, behind RBs Jaydn Ott (471 yards, 5.7 ypc) and Isaiah Ifanse (262 yards, 5.2 ypc) ranked 22nd in time of possession. California's defense is 11th on third down (28.57%). Cal is 26-11 UNDER the total against teams that commit one or fewer turnovers per game, plus 63-41 UNDER versus opponents who average 5.9 yards per play. Take Oregon State/California UNDER the total.

Pro Picks
California at Oregon State
It is desperation time for the Bears at 3-6 on the season. They need to win out to become Bowl eligible. California has been one of the best dog teams in the country. The bears in their last 37 games in the role of a dog are 25-12 ATS and have won 12 of those outright. Better than that when this team is a dog from +9 to +14 they are a perfect 9-0 ATS and are 5-4 SU in those games. This is a hard one to let pass, and I will make the play on California on the moneyline.
