Maybe 27.5…This is one of those rare games that you could probably play the OVER on about everything (Team Total, Game etc). Although I've always preferred the game total in bowls in case one team decides not to show up. Both teams missing some key players on defense, especially Cal who is missing their top 2 or 3 tacklers. And I believe TTU is missing a very good defensive back among others who have hit the portal. But they still have QB Morton, who I think is an underrated QB when he's healthy like he is now. Both teams run the ball well, although Cal runs the ball a little better and has a better run D. The only thing I don't like about the game is I haven't won one bet on Cal this season. Even when I thought they were in their best possible situational play (their clusterfuk Oregon St game was the last straw!). Anyway, the Bears aren't one of my favorite running dogs, but I do like the OVER. They used to have a great defense, but when Justin Wilcox went to the uptempo offense this year it changed the whole identity of the team, and their defense was the biggest victim of the change. It should be ripe for a high scoring game with the game being played in Shreveport with more than likely beingn conditions.
Thanks for the input, appreciate that. I saw the line dropped to 56.5 today. Weather looks good, no new updates, so not sure why it dropped. Like you said with the Cal uptempo offense… and both teams in the top 25 plays pet game. Good luck the weekend.
