California at Utah

This is not a vintage version of either program. These two teams have collected just five wins and ten losses between them. The Utah offense has really struggled. In their six games vs. FBS teams the Utes are averaging less than 17 points per game. Cal started the season with a lot of question marks on defense. They allowed over 30 points per game to all three of their opponents, which included Southern Utah. The Bears have made great strides since with no one scoring more than 27 against them. That includes games against USC, UCLA and Arizona State, so they certainly have the ability to stop a poor Utah offense here. The Golden Bears were embarrassed at home in their last game, but they have picked up the pieces to grab the cash at 6-1-1 ATS mark in their game following a 10 or more point home loss. Utah had a good defensive game in their last outing, allowing less than 100 yards rushing. But when they do that, their next game shows them 2-8 ATS. Play on California in this one.
