Plus I can&#8217;t come close to calling this game a value because about six or so weeks ago this thing may have seen the Golden Bears as the favorite but right now there is no hotter team than the Cardinal and in the end I will roll with them today.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> <st1:State><st1:place>Cal<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> will once again be without their superstar in <span class=SpellE>Jahvid<\/span> Best and overall this season has been fairly disappointing. Jeff <span class=SpellE>Tedford<\/span> had a team that was expected to compete for everything, including possibly a national title, but things have not been as expected and right now to be honest with you the Bears are not much better than an average team in the Pac-10.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Last week <st1:State><st1:place>Arizona<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> outplayed <st1:State><st1:place>Cal<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and should have won on the road but a terrible decision by their quarterback destroyed them late leading to the eight point loss. I watched the game and trust me Cal did not come close to deserving to win and cover that thing by almost double digits. This team was obliterated against both <st1:State><st1:place>Oregon<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and USC and also had it handed to them a few weeks ago at home against <st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Oregon<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Certainly a 7-3 record is solid but it&#8217;s been a weak 7-3 for today&#8217;s visitors.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Meanwhile Jim <span class=SpellE>Harbaugh&#8217;s<\/span> team is rolling as much as a team could be rolling right now. <span class=GramE>They just <span class=SpellE>embarassed<\/span> both <\/span><st1:State><st1:place><span   class=GramE>Oregon<\/span><\/st1:place><\/st1:State><span class=GramE> and USC the last two weeks combining for over 100 points in those games.<\/span> The way Toby <span class=SpellE>Gerhart<\/span> has been running the ball has been beyond amazing and it&#8217;s not like you can just load the box with a young future star in Andrew Luck at the quarterback position.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> Stanford has won three in a row and is 7-3 overall and 6-2 in the Pac-10. If not for imploding and blowing big leads at both Wake Forest and Arizona this team very <span class=SpellE>very<\/span> realistically would have only one loss all season long and be in the top seven or so in the entire nation.<br \/> &nbsp;<br \/> I am a believer in what <span class=SpellE>Harbaugh<\/span> has done with this program and to get both <span class=SpellE>Gerhart<\/span> and Luck at home here makes me feel fairly comfortable in laying this number, even to a still semi dangerous <st1:State><st1:place>Cal<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> team.<font color=black><span style='color:black'><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><b style='mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold; mso-bidi-font-weight:normal'>For more information: <\/span><\/font><\/b>225,000* of profit are here for Saturday in just two plays.
