Is anyone doubting unbeaten Utah now? They've scored 45 and 62 points the last two games, winning by 21 and 42 points -- and both were on the road at Fresno and Oregon. They also have a 24-17 victory over Michigan on their helmets. The win against Oregon was an eye-opener, rolling up 530 yards (273 rushing), with a whopping 6.5 yards per carry. Coach Kyle Whittingham has a loaded team, one with balance on offense behind senior QB Travis Wilson (four TDs, no picks versus Oregon), power RB Devaontae Booker (443 yards) and a ferocious defense. Utah's defense has yet to give up more than 24 points while forcing 11 turnovers. Utah is on a 4-1 ATS run, 6-2 ATS after a victory and 10-3 ATS against a team with a winning record. Cal is getting a lot of national attention behind their star QB, but this defense is still a soft spot allowing 44 points to Texas and 28 to Washington State last week in another close call. They allowed Washington State 403 yards, including going 9-of-15 on third down while coming back from a 21-13 halftime deficit. And their win over struggling Texas was by one point. The Golden Bears are 8-17 ATS in their last 25 PAC-12 contests and when these teams meet the home team is 4-1 ATS. Lay the points on Utah.
