Harvard Crimson vs Stanford Cardinal Point Spread Picks

Stanford comes off a 15-15 season and has a new coach in Jerod Haase, who is a former coach at UAB. The Cardinal returns its entire backcourt, including Marcus Allen and Christian Sanders along with Marcus Sheffield and Robert Cartwright, who missed last season with a broken arm. The Cardinal lost forward Rosco Allen, who entered the NBA draft, but still has Michael Humphrey and Reid Travis, who missed most of last season with a leg injury.  Harvard suffered a major blow last season when point guard Siyani Chambers went down with an ACL injury. He's back this year as the Crimson try to improve on a 14-16 record. Harvard is 2-5 ATS its last seven games against Pac-12 teams and Stanford is 5-2 ATS versus Ivy League opponents. It's worth noting that this game is being played in Shanghai, China. In a pedigree call for the Pac-12, play Stanford.
