The Stanford Cardinal entered last week with their Rose Bowl fate in their own hands. Unfortunately for them, a loss to the USC Trojans means they need another loss from the Oregon Ducks\u2014an unlikely wish considering the team\u2019s remaining schedule. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s COLLEGE FOOTBALL Picks!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Luckily for Stanford, nothing turns a gloomy day into cheer like playing the California Golden Bears.<\/p>\n Cal is just 1-10 on the year, and it has dropped its last nine entering Week 13.<\/p>\n California has one win on the season, and it was a grind-it-out game against the Portland State Vikings in Week 2. The team has played a brutal schedule that includes Northwestern, Ohio State, Oregon and UCLA, and things aren\u2019t getting any easier with Stanford to close out the year.<\/p>\n Entering this week\u2019s contest, Cal is still considered a dangerous team through the air. It is 10th in the country in passing yards per game, but the problem is that those yards rarely turn into points. The team is 95th in scoring in the FBS, and it goes without saying (again) that it won\u2019t be easy to improve against a Stout Stanford defense.<\/p>\n Speaking of defense, the Golden Bears have been dreadful on that side of the ball as well. They\u2019re one mark from being dead last in the entire country in points allowed, as their 44.4 points-per-game average is only good enough for 124th in the nation. If I haven\u2019t made it clear by now, California doesn\u2019t have much of a chance in this one. The question is whether or not they can beat the spread, which is a heavy one to say the least.<\/p>\n If the statistics are any indication\u2014and most statistical analysts would like to think they are\u2014the Cardinal won\u2019t struggle in this one. That said, they\u2019ve been given the lofty task of winning by 32 points, which isn\u2019t an easy task regardless of which team you\u2019re facing.<\/p>\n Consider a few recent trends. For starters, Stanford is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight outings against a team with a losing record. Cal clearly qualifies in that category, giving the Cardinal the advantage. Stanford is 27-13 ATS in its last 40 home games, while Cal is just 2-11 ATS in its last 13 conference games.<\/p>\n The Golden Bears are also 1-10 in their last 11 games on grass, which gives the home team Cardinal yet another benefit.<\/p>\n All the signs point Stanford\u2019s way, and quite frankly, there\u2019s little reason to assume anything else. This game should be a cake walk for the Cardinal, giving them momentum heading into their Week 14 matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.<\/p>\n Prediction: Stanford 45 \u2013 California 13<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" California vs Stanford NCAA Football Odds The Stanford Cardinal entered last week with their Rose Bowl fate in their own hands.
