California Golden Bears at Stanford Cardinal Prediction

The Cardinal has just one win in their last six Pac-12 games, but keep in mind that four of the six came on the road including an 11-point loss to Cal and they did win one of the two home games in that stretch. They're on a 3-1 streak at home in their last four and could come up with a big one tonight. Cal is only 3-3 straight up on the road in conference games and may ripe for the picking in this spot.
