The Stanford Cardinal have won 12 of their last 13 games played in November<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

UCLA is set to make its second straight appearance in the Pac-12 Championship Game, as it gets a chance to avenge last week\u2019s 35-17 loss to the Stanford Cardinal as 2.5-point home underdogs.\u00a0 \u201cI cannot recall ever being in this situation before,\u201d stated Bruins coach Jim Mora.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t know that it benefits either team.\u201d\u00a0 The Bruins may have played with a tempered emotion last Saturday due to knowing they would play the Oregon Ducks in this contest if they would have won last week\u2019s game.\u00a0 UCLA is 7-9 ATS when revenging a loss against an opponent the last two-plus seasons, something to consider when making your college football picks against the spread.<\/p>\n

The Bruins are led offensively by running back Johnathan Franklin, who needs just 18 all-purpose yards to break Maurice Jones-Drew\u2019s school record.\u00a0 UCLA is listed No. 16 in the current BCS rankings, which is its highest such ranking since the 2005 campaign.\u00a0 \u00a0 College football handicappers shouldn\u2019t overlook the program in this matchup, considering it has won three of its four games as an underdog in straight-up fashion.<\/p>\n

Stanford comes into the game as the North Division winner after going 8-1 during conference play, as the winner of this contest will receive an automatic berth in the 2013 Rose Bowl.\u00a0 \u201cI remember when nobody was giving us a look down at the Pac-12 media day,\u201d stated Cardinal linebacker Chase Thomas.\u00a0 The stop unit currently ranks first in college football in allowing just 71.3 rushing yards per game, while also owning the 11th-best scoring defense.\u00a0 Stanford is 22-9 ATS as a favorite since 2010.<\/p>\n

The Cardinal have won 12 of their last 13 games played in November dating back to Nov. 28, 2009, while David Shaw became the first coach in program history to win 10 games in each of his first two seasons.\u00a0 Stanford will definitely try to get after UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley, as the team tallied seven sacks and nine tackles for loss last week.\u00a0 Offensively, running back Stepfan Taylor is the player to watch, crossing 4,000 career rushing yards in Pasadena.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Cardinal due to the home team covering seven of the last 10 meetings in this series, while the Bruins are 2-6 ATS on the road versus a team with a winning home record.<\/p>\n
