T.M. Selection: Cal/Oregon State UNDER (8* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER).

Both teams have struggled to start the year (especially on the offensive side of the ball) and I expect another awkward/sloppy contest here as well, which I believe will ultimately help in driving this total under the number once it's all said and done. Cal had its first two games canceled because of the virus and then it was blown out at home in its opener by UCLA last weekend. Cal only scored ten points in the loss, as QB Chase Garbers had 122 yards and an interception in the seback. The Bears gave up 34 points, but 27 of those came in the first half. The Cal defense catches a break here as well facing the Beavers, who have lost two straight and who are averaging 24.5 PPG. The last two meetings between these schools have gone under the number and we can fully expect this one to follow suit.

T.M. Prediction: 21-18 Cal.
