Utah opened at -6, and the line has moved to -7. I think that's a fair line. I think Utah should rightfully be favored (wins over Oregon and Michigan are better than anything that Cal has demonstrated), but I will grudgingly admit that Cal is a dangerous team. Still, Cal's defense relies on takeaways, to an unusual extent, and Utah's offense is prodigious in avoiding them.
Other odds from the day:
Oregon at -17 (down from -20.5) versus the Cougars looks tempting unless Wazzoo figured out how to stop the run. OTOH, I don't know that the Ducks can stop the pass. 17 is a lot of points; I may lean towards WSU.
Arizona at -10 (down from -12.5) versus OSU. Hard to differentiate between two beatdowns against iffy QB's, but Arizona looked less intimidating than OSU. Then again, maybe UofA gets Solomon back, and that might be worth two touchdowns.
USC at -17 versus UW. The Pac-12's best offense goes up against the best defense. 17 points are a lot, but probably not enough.
ASU at -15 (up from -12.5) versus Colorado. Seems like it ought to be a no brainer for ASU.
