Washington State comes into this game playing very well and has won four games in a row. Cal has had an awful season and only has three wins on the campaign. Cal has played slightly better in their last two home games, only losing by nine points to Washington and eight points to Arizona State. I am going to take Cal with the points in this matchup.
