The set-up: Both teams have been playing well. Both teams are led by dynamic QB's. ASU is led by Jayden Daniels, while Cal is led by Chase Garbers. Daniels has looked poised early, but he's still for the most part untested and that definitely changes tonight. Note that in the game vs. Michigan State, Daniels was only 15 of 26 for 140 yards and no TD's in the 10-7 win. Cal sits 61st in the country in defense, allowing 366.5 YPG. The Bears' secondary has given up just two passing TD's as well through four games.

The pick: Garbers has a 7:2 TD:INT thus far. He's backed up by two competent RB's in Christopher Brown Jr. and Marcel Dancy, who will keep the Sun Devils honest with Garbers (both have two rushing TD's so far this season.) I give Cal the slight edge in all three phases and combined with the home field advantage, I'm going to confidently lay the points and expect a solid cover.

10* PAC-12 BEST OF THE BEST on California.
