Washington State at California

The Cougars might have been able to move the ball against the likes of Hawaii and SMU in games where they averaged 25 points. But in their four Pac-10 games, they are scoring less than 10 per game. They have scored 6 points or less in more than half of their last eleven Pac-10 games and managed just 3 points vs. Cal a year ago at home while yielding 66! What can Cal do this year at home? This is stat-padding for Cal. After a couple of humbling games vs. USC and Oregon, they piled 45 on a decent defensive UCLA team and the Cougars are in trouble here. Cal has a good offense that has had no trouble piling on against big numbers as last year they were heavy-duty chalk of 35 and 27.5 points and already this year 33, and won the three games by an average of 42.7 ppg, covering all three. The Cougars own six losses by a bigger margin since just last year. The Bears hung 45 on UCLA last week and they are 23-12 ATS under head coach Jeff Tedford following a game in which they scored 37 or more. They are also 8-1 ATS since last season at home. Cal can name the score and I like them to notch a blowout.
