"Cal closes out its non-conference schedule Saturday night at San Diego State, with the Bears seeking a victory that will make them 4-0 for the first time in six seasons and fuel confidence in the program that seems to be gaining some national traction. Without a winning record since 2019, the Bears (3-0) are betting favorites for the first time this season, given a 12.5-point edge according to DraftKings. It won't be the last time, unless they stumble against the Aztecs (1-1) at Snapdragon Stadium."
"Wilcox is not concerned with the first five games of the ACC schedule Boston College, Duke, North Carolina, Virginia Tech and Virginia. His focus is solely on SDSU. We don't spend a lot of time talking about the (point) spread and favorites and who's not favored, Wilcox said. We respect everybody we play and our job is to go out and play the best football we can. We need to do that again this Saturday night."
Cal closes its nonconference schedule Saturday at San Diego State, seeking a 4-0 start for the first time in six seasons. The Bears are 3-0 and favored by 12.5 points on DraftKings. Projections list Cal as favorites in their next six games following the win over Minnesota. Cal has not finished with a winning record since 2019 and last started 9-0 in 1950. Coach Justin Wilcox is focused solely on SDSU and downplays point spreads. Cal has changed its starting offensive line each game; practice performance will determine the five starters, with Fred Williams III recently starting at tackle. Momentum from early wins is increasing national attention and program confidence.
