California at Oregon State

California appears to be the best the Pac-10 has to offer this season. The conference does not have a top 25 team, and the talent level is down as low as ever. The Beavers are a Princeton-style offense that doesn't score much, and shortens games. The Beavers are averaging just 53.4 points per game in their last eight games and consequently, have rang the UNDER bell in their last seven in Pac-10 play. Cal has displayed the ability to score, but this will be a frustrating game for them as they managed just 65 at home vs. the Beavers earlier, and the home team does a better job at controlling tempo. The Beavers have played 18 of their last 24 vs. Pac-10 competition to the UNDER. I'll go with this one to stay UNDER the total.
