Sat Nov 30 21:10:00 UTC 2024: ## SMU Favored to Dominate California in Season Finale
**Dallas, TX – November 30, 2024** – The SMU Mustangs are heavily favored to defeat the California Golden Bears in their season finale Saturday, according to sports analysts. Despite already securing a spot in the conference title game, SMU aims for a victory that could propel them into College Football Playoff contention.
Pickswise analysts predict a decisive SMU win, suggesting a spread of SMU -13.5 points. While Cal has shown improvement recently, winning 3 of their last 4 games, their weak rushing attack is expected to be exploited by SMU’s strong defensive line, potentially limiting them to a one-dimensional offense.
Although Cal boasts a top-40 defense, the analysts believe SMU’s high-powered offense will be too much to handle. The Mustangs’ need for a strong performance to enhance their playoff chances is seen as a key factor. The analysts believe SMU will control both sides of the ball, securing a comfortable victory and covering the spread.
The game kicks off Saturday, with the outcome holding significant implications for SMU’s postseason aspirations. For those interested in betting on the game, several sportsbooks are offering odds on the matchup.
