Cal v. Stanford College Football Betting Odds and Lines: It's Big Game Week!

writeforcalifornia.com

California fans have a lot to celebrate at the start of Big Game Week.

Despite the outbreak of 47 people associated with the California Golden Bears football program testing positive for COVID-19 last week, fans can expect quarterback Chase Garbers and other starters to play against Stanford.

The California Golden Bears (3-6, 2-4 Pac-12) are favorites against the Stanford Cardinal (3-7, 2-6 Pac-12) this Saturday, Nov. 20.

The most recent Cal v. Stanford college football betting odds is California -4 and a 43 and one-half total, according to a “consensus” of U.S. sportsbooks’ odds collected by VegasInsider.com.

The betting spread implies California is a four-point favorite over Stanford. The total for “over-or-under” total score bets is 43 and one-half, which suggests the Big Game will be relatively low scoring.

The Cal v. Stanford college football spread opened Sunday shortly after 11 a.m. PT at California -4 and a 43 and one-half total, according to VegasInsider.com. Most U.S. sportsbooks started taking bets at this line, although DraftKings opened Sunday at a more bullish California -4.5 and a 45 total.

On Monday morning, the most bullish odds for the California Golden Bears were California -5 and a 43.5 total at PointsBet, according to VegasInsider.com.

The Stanford Cardinal are reeling from a five-game losing streak. Last week, the Cardinal were blown out by the Oregon State Beavers, 14-35, and 7-52 against the Utah Utes the week prior.

Stanford will not play in a bowl game but can still play spoiler to California’s dream of a post-season this weekend. The Golden Bears must win all of its remaining games to become bowl-eligible.

Looking forward to Wilcox's presser tomorrow. Perhaps he will provide some transparency on who is available, who is practicing NOW, who will join practice LATER in the week. Also, some players were out presumably not COVID related e.g. Craig, what is his status for the game or is he out for the year? Beat writers will hopefully come prepared w/ questions.
