The Rule of Tree staff shares their predictions for Big Game 2015, Cal Bears at Stanford Cardinal
Ben Leonard: Stanford 42, Cal 24. After such a demoralizing loss against Oregon, Stanford can only do two things: fall hard and sink to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, or swim like Michael Phelps to the Pac-12 Championship game. Historically a resilient team, Stanford doesn't appear poised to sink: they've only lost consecutive games once since 2010. Cal is reeling, while Stanford seems poised for a strong rebound against a weak defense, tied for eighth in the Pac-12 in yards allowed.
