Cal returned from a COVID-19 pause in the season with a blowout win on the road against Stanford, 41-11. Despite not having a chance to clinch a bowl berth this year, the team will look to end their season on a high note against UCLA.

The Bruins blew out crosstown rival USC last week, 62-33. Can there be a drop in level as they are looking ahead to a bowl game?

Let's find out, but first look at the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Cal vs. UCLA Pick and Prediction

I believe that Cal can hang in this game behind their stout offensive line and ability to limit explosive plays from the UCLA offense.

The Bears are No. 1 in the country in offensive line yards, meaning that the oline is constantly winning at the point of attack and opening up holes for the running game. This can be beneficial against a UCLA defense that is outside the top 90 in defensive success rate and don't make a ton of big plays in the backfield, just 64 tackles for loss this season.

On the other side, the Bruins offense has one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country in Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who can pick up chunk plays with both his arms and legs, but Cal does a great job of limiting explosive runs, top half of the nation in that metric and only allow about five yards per play.

Cal has been a great bet as an underdog this season, covering all four times, and I like them to stay within a touchdown here considering I'm not sure where the motivation is coming from for UCLA.

At the key number of +7, let's back the Golden Bears as a dog one last time.

PICK: Cal +7
