California vs. Oregon Picks
The California Golden Bears have been one of the best rushing teams throughout college football as they're 20th with 200.3 rushing yards per game. Running back sophomore Jaydn Ott has been stepping up as he has 125 rushing attempts for 754 yards (6.0 yards per carry) with eight rushing touchdowns while also having 11 catches for 85 yards (7.7 yards per reception) with a receiving touchdown. Coming off 153 rushing yards last week, go with the under in his rushing yards as he tends to go back to the mean after massive games.
The Oregon Ducks have been one of the most prolific offensive teams in the sport as they are 10th in passing yards right now. Quarterback senior Bo Nix has been one of the top Heisman Trophy candidates as he is 206-of-283 (78.3 completion percentage) for 2,337 yards with 21 touchdown passes to a single interception. With Nix averaging 292.7 passing yards in his last three games, go with the over in his passing yards in this game.
