Many will look at this one and see a huge pointspread, no Andrew Luck, and fear laying the bundle here. The Cardinal has a big offensive line, and a RB that features Stepfan taylor. Despite a pass-oriented offense, Taylor went for 1,330 yards and 10 TDs a year ago, and should be able to dominate this San Jose State team. San Jose is starting a junior college transfer QB, and will try to run against probably the best front seven in college football that allowed a meager 84 rushing yards per game a year ago. I'd be surprised if San Jose finds the scoreboard in this one, while Stanford runs at will against their defense. The Cardinal has been 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 as a chalk of -10.5 or more. The Spartans are just 7-16 in the same role as dog of +10.5 or more. Play on Stanford.
