Though Cal has lost three straight, two came against Oregon and Stanford. The Bears are still a team playing pretty well over the last handful of weeks. While Oregon State has covered in four straight, their performances on the road still are somewhat lacking. Their defensive effort away from home will lend its way to a lot of points for the Bears.
