The current betting odds have Stanford listed as a 5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Stanford hasn't been having a great season this year but they have also had a very tough schedule this season and have to play a lot of good teams. They haven't been terrible in a lot of their games this season either as they have kept their games close in score. This game is really meaningless to both teams as both already have 7 losses and cannot become bowl eligible now. California hasn't really been that great this season but they do play a lot better at home. They aren't a team that scores a lot of points though as they have a much better defense and Stanford should be able to keep this game close with a chance to win as their offense has been putting up points in their games all year. The only thing left to play for in this game is pride so expect it to be much closer in score as this game will be close. The best way to place a bet here is on Stanford to cover the spread in this game.

"It's going to be a dirty pocket. It's going to be tight coverage. When we have those one-on-one opportunities with all the pressure, and we get the protection, we got to hit them." - David Shaw after his team’s loss against Utah in their last game.

 

 

"We haven't played up to the standard that we've set as a team. We haven't coached well enough, we haven't played well enough. It is totally unacceptable." - Justin Wilcox after his team’s loss against Oregon State in their last game.
