Oregon UCLA Football

Oregon players and mascot celebrate a win over UCLA on Saturday.

Arizona is on a bye week this week — and so is The Wildcast Podcast!

However, our weekly football podcast hosts Michael Lev and Justin Spears and sports editor Ryan Finley are not taking a break in Pac-12 picks. How could we, especially with Chip Kelly and his undefeated UCLA Bruins visiting his old stomping grounds in Eugene? Plus, bragging rights — and maybe a California burrito — are on the line among the podcast team. 

Before our picks for the week, here's an update on the season record (overall record, record against the spread). 

Lev's record: 27-11, 15-23

Spears' record: 27-11, 19-19
