5* PAC-12 BLOCKBUSTER ATS SMASH: California -4

Washington is coming off a huge win at home over Oregon State and that certainly has them slightly overrated against California on the road, especially after the public watched the Golden Bears lose at Utah by a final of 27-49. Not only do I think Cal will cover the spread, but I don't think this game will be close at all.

These two team home/away splits are the number one thing you have to look at when betting these teams. The difference in how they play in front of their home fans and on the road is tough to comprehend. Either way it sets up an excellent opportunity to use it to our advantage.

The Huskies are 0-3 on the road this season and all three have been blowouts. All three were decided by 30 points or more. On the other hand, Washington is 4-1 at home with two huge wins over ranked teams in Stanford and Oregon State and they only lost to USC by 10-points.

Cal is just 2-3 at home, but they have been every game and pulled off a huge 43-17 win over UCLA, who I believe is more talented than this Washington Squad. The Golden Bears just 1-3 on the road with the only win coming against a bad Washington State team. I wasn't surprised at all to see them go into Utah and get smacked around last week.

Adding even more value to the home team in this one is being played on Friday night in front of a national audience. If that wasn't enough, Washington is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games! BET THE GOLDEN BEARS!
