    Cal v Zona

    I have a lot of action on this game

    I have lived in Tucson for most of my life and follow u of a football about as close as anyone. The line for this game opened at -12.5 and is currently at -8 on 5Dimes. Zona is very overhyped this year due to their big and physical receivers. However, their red shirt freshman Qb Anu Solomon has proven himself to be unable to properly utilize this talented group. He has a hard time managing an offense especially in the 4th quarter, and still overthrows a lot of receivers. This will be his first conference home game. U of a is going to be wearing all white and the home crowd will be very pumped for the first PAC-12 "white-out" game of the year.

    We have had some scattered thunderstorms here in the Dirty T since Thursday and we are supposed to be submerged in 4-6 inches of rain by Saturday. This should pose some scoring problems for both teams, which is why I like the under.

    Cal has covered the spread in both games this season after going 1-11 SU last year. U of A beat them at home last season as a 14 point dog, so this is a huge revenge game for Cal. They have had a week off to prepare and I feel very confident that they will bring their best effort in Saturday. They are 2-0 so far with two strong performances in each win. Cal utilizes 2 Qbs, one running specialist and one passing specialist. I think that this Qb combo will be tough for the wildcats to adjust to.

    Hopefully I am right, I am considering betting more on this game but would like some feedback first.

    Thanks bro, glad we agree. For me the ML is a bit of a flyer, if the game is close going into the 4th I think Cal has an edge just because of how bad Solomon has been during crunch time this year. BOL to us both

    I foolishly took Zona in a ML parlay when they came out and am regretting it now. After looking into it further and watching the line, I agree that this one might be close at the end. Arizona kind of reminds me of Cal last year but with more talent. They're good, but it just seems like it's going to take them a while to start really clicking. I think Cal is in a good spot here getting them fairly early in the year. Great info on the weather too, especially in a game like this where that will negate some of the Cats speed. Got a feeling I'll be sweating this one out until the end. Good luck

    Wow. Just wow. 50 total points in the 4th. Solomon is growing up. That was a crazy finish.
