BYU Cougars vs Stanford Cardinal Point Spread Picks

Since completing 10 straight seasons of eight or more wins, the Stanford Cardinals have fallen fast. They have not won more than four games in a season since 2018. They lost a lot of good players in the transfer portal, and will be starting a redshirt freshman QB. The projections for this team are low, and most show them finishing dead last in the ACC. The season opener did a lot to confirm that as they lost to Hawaii 23-20. BYU opened its season with a 69-0 thrashing of Portland State. BYU had 12 different RBs rush for 10 yards or more in that game. The Cougars scored seven TDs in the first half alone. I don't think Stanford can get enough stops to keep BYU out of the end zone. Make the play OVER the total.

Stanford has fallen during the past couple of years as they head into their finale vs BYU. There is so much pressure on the defense as Stanford has scored a total of just 85 points in their last six games, or 14.2 PPG. That has left the Cardinals 0-4 SU in their last four and 0-5 ATS in their last 5. BYU comes in winning two straight and is bowl eligible. One of the two wins was vs a good Boise State team. Most of the BYU losses have come to strong teams, and that is not what they will be facing here. Stanford blew a big lead vs their rival California last week, and that was their energy game. I could see this team really laying an egg here. Make the play on BYU.
