This Friday night matchup will see the Arizona State Sun Devils taking on the Cal Golden Bears. This is a PAC-12 conference game, so it is sure to be an exciting atmosphere.
[dfads params=’groups=220&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
These teams last met in 2016, where the Sun Devils won 51-41. The game this year has much bigger aspirations considering the Bears are undefeated and are the number 15 team in the country. The Golden Bears are almost certainly not used to being ranked so whether or not they will be prepared remains to be seen.
Arizona State Sun Devils
Arizona State was riding high after their upset win over the Michigan State in week three. Then they came back home last week and lost to Colorado in overtime 34-31.
This loss may have snapped the Sun Devils back into reality and showed them that they still have a ton of work to do if they want to compete for a PAC-12 title.
Their offense has been nothing special so far this season as they average just 22.5 points per game. This ranks 105th out 130th in the country.
Their strength if any is their passing attack. They average 268.2 passing yards per game, which ranks 46th in the country.

Their defense had looked pretty solid until Colorado put up 34 points against them last week. They still only allow 13.8 points per game. This ranks 17th in the country.
They also allow just 346 total yards per game, which sounds like a lot, but it ranks 49th in the country so they are in the top third in the country.
California Golden Bears
The Cal Bears are now 4-0 after a win over the Ole Miss Rebels. The ending to this game was controversial, but nonetheless, the Golden Bears return home with a ton of hype surrounding them. Whether they can handle this hype remains to be seen.
The offense for this Cal team has also been very unimpressive to say the least. They gain an average of 371.2 total yards per game, ranking 94th in the country.
They also score just 24.5 points per game, which ranks 99th in the country. Sure, their quarterback has been solid, but it is clear that they have focused on their defense through the first five weeks of the season.
Speaking of their defense, they are allowing just 17.2 points per game. Even though this ranks 27th, it is still very good and has kept them in all of their games.
It is important to note that they have not allowed more than 20 points in a game this year, so that will be the key number to hold the Sun Devils to or under if they are going to win.

This is a huge spot for Cal and a game they need to win. If they lose, all the hype surrounding them will likely fade. I think the Cal defense will be the difference and will lead the Golden Bears to a 5-0 start to the season.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: UNDER 40.0
This game just screams take the under and that is where I am going to go. Both offenses have not shown the ability to score points in chunks and I think we will see a ton of defensive stands and a few turnovers as well.
I look for this game to be a defensive struggle and will take the under as my official pick.
