California struggles greatly against teams that are proficient from the outside, but the Buckeyes strength isn't their ability to shoot the rock. Eight is too many to give the Bears. Ranking 10th in the nation in FG% defense, the men from Columbus beat teams with great defense. OSU only gives up 61 points a game and they rank in the top 25 against the three.

California has the exact opposite team blueprint. This Pac-10 representative allows over 75 points per game while they light their opposition up for 77. It is this reason I'm going to back California tonight.

Overall, the 2 different styles lend itself to Cal covering the big spread. This is because California is vulnerable to teams that score very well...Ohio State is a defense first team this year. I think that Cal can keep this one closer than 8 points, and I'll back California at +7.5 tonight.
