One of Casale's top Week 6 college football picks: He's going Over 58.5 points in UCLA vs. Oregon in a top-25 matchup at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. After ranking in the top 20 nationally in scoring defense each of the last three years, the Ducks have plummeted to 98th this year. With UCLA coming off back-to-back 50-point outings, there should be fireworks no matter which offense is on the field as the teams' last two meetings in Oregon each eclipsed 70 combined points.
"Oregon and UCLA have both been over teams this season," Casale told SportsLine. "The Ducks are 4-0 to the over, while the Bruins have gone over the total in three of four games. Oregon has topped 40 points in four of its last five home games. I like that trend to continue on Saturday with the Ducks winning an entertaining shootout."
Casale has found two other college football picks he loves, including one game in which he "disagrees with" the line movement.
