Stanford vs Cal Preview, Betting Pick & Prediction – 11/23/2024

The Stanford Cardinal will take on the California Golden Bears on November 23, 2024, at 3:30 pm EST. The California Golden Bears are currently favored by 14 points in their rivalry game according to the betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook. The total for the game is set at 55. The matchup between these two teams promises to be an exciting one, with both teams looking to secure a victory. Continue reading to get our prediction for Stanford vs Cal in the 2024 edition of the Big Game.

Stanford Hopes to Spoil Cal's Bowl Hopes

The Stanford Cardinal don't have much to play for for themselves this season, as they are just 3-7 overall and 2-5 in the ACC. But the Cardinal can get a win this week that would spoil the bowl hopes of the rival Cal Golden Bears, which would be a nice silver lining to a bad season for Stanford. Last week, Stanford pulled off a miraculous comeback to beat Louisville at home, which was aided by some questionable decision making from the Louisville late in the fourth quarter. This week, Stanford may not be as lucky late in the game and will need to do more to create their own fortunate circumstances to win this rivalry game.

Cal Looks For Rivalry Win and Bowl Eligibility

The Cal Golden Bears are 5-5 overall this season and 1-5 in the ACC. But they are heavy favorites to get a win this week that would give them six wins and punch their ticket to bowl season. This game is of vital importance for Cal, as a loss here would require them to win on the road against a ranked SMU team next week to get to six wins. With that being unlikely to happen, it will be up to the Golden Bears to take care of business at home this week to eliminate any drama on the final week of the regular season.

Stanford vs Cal Prediction

Our best bet for Stanford vs Cal in the Big Game is for Cal to win and cover the spread as a two-touchdown home favorite. Both of these teams have struggled in their first season as ACC teams, but Cal has won two of their last three games by double-digits and should be able to flex their muscle offensively against a bad Stanford defense.
