Stanford Cardinal at California Golden Bears Prediction

The Cardinals were blown out by Oregon in their latest on the road to bring their record in true road games to a dismal 1-5. They have played a tough group with three of the losses coming against Oregon, UCLA and Kansas and their numbers versus the betting line is a money making 3-2. Cal is a respectable 11-2 at home and 3-1 against the Pac-12, but are only 1-3 ATS in their conference games as a host. The Golden Bears lack of ability to distance themselves in recent victories has me taking the points on the visitor.
