Stanford at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington State 41, Stanford 27
Money line
Washington (-540) heads into this one back in the rankings for the first time since Week 1 of the 2021 season. The Huskies have scored 39 or more points in each of their 3 games so far, but facing a conference foe is always much tougher.
AVOID.
Against the spread
WASHINGTON -13.5 (-115) is worth playing lightly, although this will easily be the most difficult game to date. Stanford did a good job of hanging with USC, but that game was also at home. The Cardinal have had 2 weeks to study up and game plan for the Huskies, and that early bye week also gives them time to rest the bumps and bruises. Stanford is going to be a tough opponent.
Over/Under
The OVER 62.5 (-108) is the best play in this battle.
The Over is 18-6 in the past 24 games for Stanford following a straight-up loss. For Washington, the Over has cashed in 4 straight and it’s 5-0 in the past 5 games in Seattle.
