Oregon State at Stanford

The Stanford Cardinal lost Andrew Luck and a bunch of his supporting cast from a team that was in the BCS Championship picture for most of last season. A lot of people predicted a crash-and-burn this season. That hasn't happened as they are 7-2 entering this game. The Cardinal still has a lot of talent, especially on defense. Their seven games that did not go into overtime have seen no opponent top the 17-point mark, while their offense has gone for 48+ on three occasions. Stanford is now 18-1 in their last 19 home games, with only the high-powered offense of Oregon able to break through. Oregon State will have their attention here as the Beavers are 7-1 on the season, with the lone loss coming on the road in Washington. Stanford is now on an impressive 22-4-1 ATS run after scoring 40+ in their previous game, as well as 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 after a 20-point win or more. Under David Shaw, Stanford is 9-1 ATS after scoring 37+ points last game and 13-3 ATS after a win. Momentum is on the side of the Cardinal. Take them to win and cover.
