The road team has dominated the number when the California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal meet as they have covered the spread in 8 of their last 10 meetings. The Stanford Cardinal have struggled this season, especially as of recent as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games, but their road doesn’t get easier as California is a stingy team. Stanford has struggled on the offensive side of the ball this season as they rank 111th in points scored, and that plays into California’s hands as they rank 37th in points allowed. California will also need to find more consistency out of their offense, but their defense is clearly the best unit on the field, and they will help lead the Golden Bears to their 6th win. Final Score Prediction, California Golden Bears win and cover ATS 21-17.
