Stanford is coming off their second loss of the season, thanks to an assortment of blunders, but the game following a loss is a position the Cardinal revel in with the team going 8-1-1 ATS in their past 10 in that situation. Stanford will host the California Golden Bears Saturday.
- Cal is 0-5 SU in their last five against Stanford.
- Stanford is 11-0 SU in their last 11 following a loss.
- Christian McCaffrey has rushed for 100-plus yards in eight consecutive games.
When all was said and done, Stanford’s two-point loss to Oregon last week had to do with botched snaps and a failed two-point conversion. Stanford has previously only lost their first game of the season, but rebounded following that behind Kevin Hogan’s three touchdowns.
Cal ended their four-game losing streak when they topped the winless Oregon State Beavers in their last outing. Quarterback Jared Goff came through in a big way against Oregon State, with the junior throwing six touchdowns.
