They have gone 3-0 SU & 2-1 ATS in their last three games overall. They won 34-10 at Arizona as 3.5-point favorites and 52-27 at Oregon as 3-point favorites. Their only non-cover was a 26-15 win over Oregon State as 16.5-point favorites in which they were stopped on 4th and goal from the 1 late, otherwise they would have covered that game as well.
California has gone the other direction. The Golden Bears are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last three games overall, and they haven't even been competitive in the losses. They fell 24-45 at USC as 20-point dogs, 27-66 at home to Washington as 19.5-point dogs, and 21-56 at Washington State as 17.5-point dogs.
The difference in this game is that Stanford is going to be able to keep scoring even when it gets a big lead because California simply cannot stop anyone. The Golden Bears have allowed 45 or more points in five consecutive games. They are giving up an average of 55.7 points and 662.3 yards per game in their last three games alone.
Christian McCaffrey is going to be in for a career day against this California run defense. The Golden Bears allow 283 rushing yards per game and a whopping 6.2 yards per carry this season. They gave up 474 rushing yards to Oregon State, 398 to USC, 287 to Washington and even 254 to a Washington State team not known for running the ball.
Stanford is 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS in its last six meetings with Cal. The Cardinal have won five of those six games by at least 13 points.
This game says Stanford all over it
is california scoring these days? i've lost track of that. seems like not so much but not really sure .... their defense is really really bad, i know that.
Stanford D is the key. Cal will hang tough early in this one but I firmly believe Stanford will impose their O-line in the second half and will be able to effectively run with McCaffrey and Love. Keller at QB has brought about solid point production and there will be the emotional play or two in this one but Stanford -10 is the play. Double digit win and Cal walks away still looking for a defense.
