Bears Cardinal Gameday
Cal is having a solid season this year but neither of these teams is doing much on the gridiron these days.
It is a shame, especially for a game like this. I honestly wonder if they would be better off going back out West and dropping down to FCS, where they should be able to compete.
The big game has had its moments and some good players have played in it, but good like finding any of either on Saturday.
The interesting thing is that they are playing in prime time. I am not sure who is going to watch it if you don’t have action.
Cal Bears
The Bears won on the road last week at Louisville. It took overtime, but there can be no complaints when you win outright as a +18.5 underdog.
It was a clean game, and they passed for 350 yards. That is the strength of their offense. Even though the coach might prefer a strong run game.
Cal has won four straight against Stanford with a 3-1 ATS mark. They have been favored the last two times they visited the Cardinal, showing how that program has meandered into irrelevance.

Cal Bears Stats
Through ten games Cal is 6-4 overall record with a 3-3 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play.
Under head coach Justin Wilcox, the team has relied heavily on its passing attack, averaging 263.5 yards per game through the air.
However, the offense has been somewhat one-dimensional, struggling significantly on the ground with only 78.4 rushing yards per game.
The team has maintained a nearly even scoring margin, averaging 25.0 points per game while allowing 25.2 points to opponents. Notable results include a 29-26 overtime victory over #14 Louisville and a narrow 21-18 win against North Carolina.
Individually, the offense is led by quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele, who has thrown for 2,518 yards and 13 touchdowns, though ball security has been an issue with 9 interceptions.
The ground game features running back Kendrick Raphael, who has rushed for 695 yards and a team-high 11 touchdowns.
In the receiving corps, Jacob De Jesus has been a versatile weapon, leading the team with 699 receiving yards and accumulating 1,177 all-purpose yards when factoring in his return work.
On defense, linebacker Cade Uluave leads the unit with 79 tackles, while defensive back Hezekiah Masses has been a turnover machine, recording 5 interceptions.
The defense has also seen pass-rush production from TJ Bush Jr., who leads the team with 5.0 sacks.
Stanford Cardinal
It is still pretty amazing how Stanford has drifted to irrelevance in college football. You would think there would be some money for them to throw around to be decent.
They have been favored just once all season, in their games against San Jose State, which they only won by a point.
This team used to have a strong identify for physical football on both sides of the ball. Now it is hard to find anything they do particularly well.
Perhaps seeing a rival, will motivate them this weekend.
Stanford Cardinal Stats
The Stanford Cardinal have struggled to find consistency, posting a 3-7 record with a 2-5 mark in Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) play.
Under interim head coach Frank Reich, the team has faced significant challenges on both sides of the ball, averaging just 17.5 points per game while surrendering 29.1 points to opponents.
The offense has been particularly stifled, managing only 308.4 total yards per game, with a rushing attack that averages a meager 76.9 yards per contest.

4* Free Cal Bears vs. Stanford Cardinal 2025 Week 13 NCAA Betting Prediction: Cal -3
It might seem counterintuitive to back a road favorite in a rivalry game but that is where we are with Stanford these days.
The offense just isn’t there and I would expect lots of bettors are putting this game into their teasers given that we are on the key number right now.
This is probably going to be a low-scoring affair with these offense, the key for the Bears will be getting the early lead and forcing Stanford to chase.
If that turns into more mistakes, then this one could definitely get out of hand and hit the over too. It is hard to see where Stanford has any advantages.
