Cal at Stanford

Question

Who you guys got??  I&#x27;m leaning towards Cal and the points..Hard to see Stanford being really all there against a team without its best player and after b2b rockings of Oregon and USC...Seems like a letdown spot for sure, esp. in rivalry game.  Cal can run the ball, as they went off for 200 against a much better run D last week against Zona and Riley has been consistent all year.What are you thoughts??

No way stanford lets down. Cal is their rival and this game is huge for them. Who would they be looking ahead to? William &amp;mary?

Cal is pretty good against the run and proved to me last week they can run the ball w/o Best..Not saying Cal will win- but a TD is an awfully lot after two straight MONSTER games for Stanford..

Do you suppose their is a Wall Street Journal curse? Big writeup about Jim Harbaugh and Stanford in the WSJ today. Made it sound like Stanford has finally figured it all out and are destined for greatness for years to come. Let's hope it all starts next week.

CAL is the pick

Letdown? Can you give a better argument? Letdown? I can´t imagine a "letdown" in soccer when Real Madrid will play with Barcelona.

This teams hates each other and will play to win with all they have. You must see on youtube the video "The Play: Bears Attack the Band".

Letdown? Give me a break.

I think this one comes down to the wire. I see Cal on the receiving end of a kickoff as time expires, with Stanford celebrating prematurely after it's believed the Cal player is down......with the Cardinal band rushing the field in celebration, Cal weaves through the mess, knocking over a tuba player on the way to scoring the game-winning TD.

Cal 25, Stanford 20

Just a prediction

BBallday10 · Answer

These are 18-21 year old kids, so who knows how they are going to respond after ESPN and every other media outlet has deemed them the second coming after b2b blowouts against Oregon and USC..

Why is this line only 7 then and not 10 or 14? Cal's best player isn't playing and this game is still only a 7 pt line. Cal got blown out by the 2 teams Stanford just destroyed and Cardinal are at home..

So someone on Stanford explain why this line isn't 10 or more?

I wouldn&#x27;t bet against Stanford right now.  Playing great football.

The band could make a critical stop to ensure there is no back door cover - going with the trees.  GL

&#xD;&#xA;FWIW, I ran some numbers earlier.  Stanford averages a little over half a yard per play better on offense and a half a yard worse than Cal on defense.  Since 2002, for games with teams with similar stats, the home team is 65 and 33 which translates to a moneyline of roughly 295.  The moneyline is currently at around 315.  I know that stats don&#x27;t play games, but they are (YPP in particular) pretty good at predicting point spreads this late in the season.
