The Golden Bears turn the page to November and finish up the roughest part of their schedule with a battle against their long-time nemesis, the Oregon Ducks. Cal opened as 7.5 point underdogs against Oregon with the line settling at 5.5; the Bears haven't been favored to beat the Ducks since 2009.
Oregon rose to national prominence about the very moment Cal fell from it, and 42-3 was very much the turning point for both programs (in either the right or the wrong way). It's been seven years since Cal has beaten Oregon, and aside from two games, it has come down to the fact that our offense has generally been inept and their offense has been the opposite.
