California has had a very disappointing season as has Stanford, but the Golden Bears will be at home on Saturday and have covered the number in six of the last eight in Berkeley. Stanford on the other hand has failed to cover the number in 15 of its last 17, while failing to cover the nut in seven of the last eight played on the road. Stanford's defense is very weak allowing an average of 32.4 points per game and that will be the difference in this matchup on Saturday as the offenses are similar in strength. Final Score Prediction, California Golden Bears win and cover ATS 27-20.
