California Golden Bears Football

The University of California Golden Bears football team enters the 2023 season with the aim of improving its performance and achieving a winning record. Coach Justin Wilcox, who has been at the helm for seven years, faces pressure to lead the team to success after a 4-8 record in the previous season. The Golden Bears are striving to make significant improvements on both offense and defense to compete effectively in the Pac-12 conference.

California Golden Bears Point Spreads

It wasn’t great to be a Golden Bears fan last season, especially if you were also a spread bettor, as they covered only seven times in twelve contests. Betting on the spread means betting on your team to “cover” a margin of victory set by oddsmakers, with underdogs (plus odds) needing to lose by less than the spread and favorites (minus odds) needing to win by more than the spread.

Here’s an example of a Bears spread from last season:

  • California -1 (-110)
  • Stanford +1 (-110)

The Golden Bears won by one point, 24-23. This means that the spread was a “push” or tie, and all spread bettors got their money back. For Golden Bears tickets to have cashed, they would have had to win by two or more points, while Stanford bets would've gotten paid only if they won — since there's no ties in college football, Stanford couldn't cover +1 without winning the game.

California Golden Bears Over/Unders

The under cashed in 5 of the Golden Bears' 12 games last season. An under is one of two ways to bet on over/unders or totals. These are bets on the amount of points scored in the game.

For example, the total for Cal at Stanford might be 51 points. With a 24-23 game, unders win; if there were 52 or more points, overs would win. It doesn’t matter which team wins the game, just the amount of points scored.

California Golden Bears Moneylines

Another popular bet to make on the Golden Bears is a moneyline bet. Moneylines are very straightforward: All you have to do is pick the winner of the game. Since some teams are more likely to win than others, oddsmakers adapt by changing the payouts on both sides.

As an example, Cal winning as a +115 underdog against Stanford means that a $100 bettor would get $225 back (their original $100, plus $115 in profit.) If they were -115 favorites instead, that bettor would have to wager $115 to get the same $215 back, with only $100 being a profit this time.

California Golden Bears Props

If you’re a fantasy football expert who wants to take your speculative talents to the collegiate level, player props are for you. Instead of betting on the team, player props are just wagers on the stats that a specific player accumulates, just like fantasy!

Some Bears props you could bet on in 2021 include over/unders on QB Luke Bottari's passing yards, RB DeCarlos Brooks' rushing touchdowns, or WR Justin Baker's receptions.

California Golden Bears Futures

Having skin in the game for a whole season is fun: You get to root for every single game, and if your prediction is correct you make some money.

You can do this by betting Golden Bears futures, which are bets that are based on the entire season and settle at the end. Some futures you could bet on include their odds to win the Pac-12, over/under on their season win total, and more.
