The Cougars are favored by 6.5 points in the upcoming game.  BYU is already bowl eligible at 6-5.  O/U is at 58, which would imply a score of about 32-26.  What?  The odds-makers (or gamblers) really believe we can put up 26 points?

Cal is ranked #61 in Defensive FEI and we did score 20 on them.

BYU is #106 in Defensive FEI, the worst on our entire schedule (even including our own). They gave up 26 points to FCS Utah Tech at home last week, though of course they scored a hell of a lot more and won handily.

Scoring 20 against the #61 defense can explain why odds-makers think we can put up 26 points on a significantly worse one. Very obvious they don't watch the games though.
