T.M. Selection: California.

I like California to cover the spread against Oregon on Friday. California has now lost 2 bad games in a row in their conference play. Washington stole the game from them in OT and then they suffered a devastating blow with a 21-6 loss at home against Washington State. They had a bye week last week and have had some time to regroup and rethink their approach to these games. I think they will be eager to get a win here against a reeling Oregon team who lost their 3rd place rank in the country after a loss to Stanford in their last game. Oregon also had a bye week and will be rested for this game but I think Cal is going to take it to them in this game and keep it close knowing that Oregon's confidence is down. Cal has their back against the wall here and need to make something happen here or their hopes to win the conference will be over. I think they will make this a close game with Oregon giving them another scare. I like Cal to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 31-24 Oregon.
