I really like the Ducks in this game packerfan and I have them +3 (buying the half point) and a small moneyline play BUT:
I had two Overs (42 and 43) today in which the games totaled 31 points.
I had UTEP +3 (Losing by 35 last I checked in the 3rd qtr)
So take it FWIW!

I think Cali should continue winning and Oregon should continue losing. teams headed in opposite directions, but need to be aware of the win loss records and remaining games. During this time , some teams go on a win or die attitude and some just die. Oregon is in a win or die situation, but dont think that will help their struggling team find its way today. Not against this clicking Cali team who playing with more enthusiasm and motivation. Take Cali to win and cover, dont think line will factor in to the final score in this one.
MY PLAY OF THE WEEK....
If they could do it all over again, I think the Oregon Ducks would give back that win over Michigan. Life just has not been the same for them since the big upset in Eugene. The Ducks are just 1-4 since that big win and they have been hammered in many of those losses. Have no fear however, Oregon will strike back in this contest. The Ducksa are embarrassed enough this time to do something about it. Winning teams at home off of an embarrassing loss are a good bet in college football and when you can get that team as an underdog, it is all the more sweeter. The last time the Ducks took a road pounding and returned home, they shutout Stanford at home 35-0. Look for a similar type effort here against a California team that they have beaten 6 times in a row. Oregon will get things right in this contest.
California is a .500 team with a losing record on the road this year. They do not have a road win vs. a team with a winning record and I think they are a poor value as a favorite in this game. This line is based on California´s blowout win in their last outing v. Arizona St. However, in the Pac-10, you are never as good as your last blowout. California has not had an answer for Oregon in this series and I don´t see them coming up with one here. There´s the chance that they will be complacent after a 28 point win over Arizona St. and I don´t see them matching the intensity of the Ducks in this one. Take Oregon.
