Stanford at Oregon picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 45, Stanford 24
Money line
Oregon (-800) should be able to push by Stanford and do so in a rather impressive fashion. However, under no circumstances should you ever make a standalone bet that risks 8 times your potential return. It’s risky behavior even tossing this into a parlay of 5 or more teams.
AVOID.
Against the spread
OREGON -17.5 (-105) is worth playing lightly here. The Ducks were obviously not equal to the task against Georgia in their opener, but this team has shown off solid offense in the 3 games since, including a nice win over BYU.
Stanford can score points and will be in this game well into the second half. Don’t expect a blowout. The Cardinal average 30.3 points per game on both sides of the ball.
Over/Under
The OVER 62.5 (-110) is the best play on the board in this Pac-12 battle. Oregon has hit the Over in each of its 3 wins, posting 41 or more points in all of the outings.
The Over has hit in both of Stanford’s games against FBS teams, albeit in losses, averaging 25.0 PPG in those two outings while yielding 40.5 PPG.
