Pac-12 Picks: Can Arizona cover as double-digit road underdogs?

[tps_title]WASHINGTON STATE at CAL[/tps_title]

[tps_header]1 p.m., PAC-12 Networks, Golden Bears -17.5[/tps_header]

— The Bears’ defense is coming around under Sonny Dykes. They lead the Pac-12 in both interceptions (nine) and forcing turnovers (14).

— The Golden Bears also have a run game coming back in Daniel Lasco, who missed the last two games with a hip injury. Quarterback Jared Goff should be primed for this matchup after lighting up the Cougars for 527 yards and five touchdowns last year.

— Washington State is 9-2-1 ATS in its last 12 games on the road

— Cal is 6-17 ATS in its last 23 games at home

My pick: Cal will win but Washington State will cover

Steve Rivera’s pick: Cal will win and cover

Anthony Gimino’s pick: Cal will win and but Washington State will cover cover
