Oregon State is coming into this game with a 3-17 record overall and they are 3-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 11th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 1-9 in their conference games this season.

Both of these teams have been having awful seasons and they have both been playing very badly recently on massive losing streaks coming into this one. California is only 2-11 in their conference games this season while Oregon State is only 1-9 but Cal is still a much better team here. California has won 9 games this season while Oregon State are sitting at the bottom of the Pac-12 with a 3-17 record overall. One of these teams has to win this game and snap their losing streak and even though California is still winless on the road this season at 0-7, they will get their first road win in this game. California has been losing a lot of games recently but they have been keeping a lot of their games close and within single digits. Oregon State has not and they have lost their last 3 games by 20 or more points and that stretches back for most of their conference games. California will get their first road win here and win by a large margin as well.
