Ducks Wire Roundtable: Predictions and opinions for the Oregon vs. Cal game

Will Oregon keep the 40-point game streak alive? Is Bo Nix’s Heisman campaign for real? Our opinions and predictions ahead of the Cal game.

Compared to last weekend’s affairs, these next couple of games for the Oregon Ducks are going to lack some of the pomp and circumstance. With the Ducks coming off a dominant, 45-30, win over the then-No. 10 UCLA Bruins, this matchup against the California Golden Bears in Berkley lacks some luster.

It is still an important matchup, though, and one that has given Oregon some real problems in the past. The Ducks lost two of their past three trips to Berkley.

The game will also give Oregon an opportunity to continue to impress now that it is on the national stage again following their top-10 win. In the fringes of the College Football Playoff conversation, big margins of victory mean a lot, and Saturday presents an opportunity for that.

To help preview all of the action, Ducks Wire writers Zachary Neel and Don Smalley gathered to make predictions and offer opinions on what we might see.
