California vs Air Force Prediction

The Cal Golden Bears could win this game comfortably due to the talent gap, and they have more punch offensively. However, the Air Force Falcons have experience and defend at a decent clip to where they’re worth a look in the underdog role. Also, this is a letdown spot for Cal after beating USC as a decent-sized underdog. I’ll take a shot with Air Force and the points.
