SMU Mustangs vs California Golden Bears Betting Trends

Updated:Nov 29, 2025 1:28 AM EST

The Saturday football game on November 29, 2025, features the SMU Mustangs visiting the California Golden Bears at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, CA. This NCAAF Week 14 matchup promises to deliver intriguing betting trends and game insights for bettors looking to capitalize on the action broadcast live on ESPN2.

The Mustangs come in with an 8-3 straight-up record and a 5-6 ATS record, while the Golden Bears hold a 6-5 straight-up and 4-7 ATS record. California has struggled at home ATS with a 1-4 record, putting them at a disadvantage against the spread. SMU is favored by 13.5 points with a total points over/under set at 53.5, favoring the under. These odds indicate that the Mustangs are expected to control the game but the total points suggest a moderately paced contest.

The starting quarterbacks for this game are expected to lead their teams with California's offense averaging 337.8 yards per game, including 265.5 passing yards and 72.4 rushing yards. SMU boasts a stronger offense with 413.7 total yards per game, including 286.5 passing and 127.2 rushing yards. Defensively, California allows 348.3 yards per game, while SMU allows 385 yards, indicating a balanced battle between SMU's potent offense and California's defense.

California's pass defense ranks reasonably well, but SMU's pass offense is slightly more effective, which could give the Mustangs an edge through the air. SMU's strong run offense against California's run defense also suggests a ground game advantage. On the pass protection front, SMU's offensive line faces a California pass rush that averages 1.7 sacks per game, so protection will be key.

In their last matchup on November 30, 2024, SMU dominated California 38-6 at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. This previous game sets a precedent for SMU's confidence going into this Saturday football game. Bettors should consider these betting trends and game stats carefully to make smart wagering decisions.
