Justin Wilcox got 16 starters to return to Cal in their first year in the ACC. Included is quarterback Fernando Mendoza and running back Jadyn Ott. Last week they put up 31 against UC Davis and didn’t cover. Last week Auburn put up 73 points scoring 52 in the first half. Payton Thorne threw for 322 yards and four touchdown passes. Auburn brings back 13 players from last year and will give Alabama some trouble when they meet later in the year. Just the over.

Taking Auburn -11.5 before the number goes higher. The Tigers have underrated talent on both sides of the ball and I think they make a statement at home vs. a Cal team with a lot of question marks. I’d bet this at any number lower than -14.
