Colorado at Stanford picks and predictions

Prediction

Stanford 71, Colorado 67

Moneyline

Stanford shoots a lot of 3s as part of its offense but its conversion rate from beyond the arc (30.5%) leaves much to be desired. However, the Cardinal have made 36.7% of their looks from beyond the arc at home.

Colorado has played the lesser schedule so far, and STANFORD (-140) has some value.

Against the spread

The Buffaloes are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight-up win.

Stanford on its home floor off a bit of a break for both sides is a decent play. Look for some shooting regression favoring the home side and for it to do a better job of handling the basketball when not pestered by a top-30 foe.

BACK STANFORD -2.5 (-105).

Over/Under

Some downward action on this line has affected the legitimacy of an Under lean here. PASS.

Colorado at Stanford odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 69, Stanford 67

Money line

COLORADO (+125) is a solid play as a short ‘dog on the road at Maples. Stanford (-155) is a moderate favorite on its home court, but the Cardinal have really struggled in front of the home fans. Colorado is a much better team overall, and it will show that Saturday night.

Against the spread

Play COLORADO +2.5 (-110) if you do not trust them to get the job done straight up. However, it will be a very close game. While the Buffaloes are just 1-6 ATS in the past seven tries against winning teams, Stanford -2.5 (-110) is a dismal 2-5 ATS in the previous seven at home. The better play is just taking the Buffs on the ML, however.

Over/Under

The OVER 134.5 (-112) is the lean here, cashing in each of the previous four outings for Colorado. The Over is also 3-1-1 in its past five against winning teams. For Stanford, the Over is an impressive 7-2 in the previous nine outings against teams as a favorite and 19-7 in the previous 26 as a home favorite, too.

Colorado at Stanford: Three things to know

  1. Colorado opened with a 48-42 shootout victory against UCLA at Folsom Field in Boulder last weekend, winning outright as a 6.5-point underdog as the Over (56.5) comfortably connected. RB Jarek Broussard rumbled for 187 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
  2. Stanford lost 35-14 at Oregon last week. The Cardinal had a 7-0 lead early before the Ducks stormed back with 28 unanswered points and never looked back. The Cardinal managed 413 total yards of offense but coughed up 496 total yards, including 269 yards on the ground. That’s bad news with Broussard looming on the other sideline.
  3. The Buffaloes have failed to cover in the past four games on the road. However, the Cardinal are 0-4 ATS in the past four conference tilts, while going just 1-6 ATS in the past seven following a straight-up loss. The Under has cashed in each of the past five meetings in this series.

Colorado at Stanford: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Colorado 31, Stanford 27

Money line (ML)

COLORADO (+245) is worth a roll of the dice on the road, as it moved the ball at will against UCLA a week ago. Stanford (-313) really struggled on the road at Oregon, especially against the rush, which will be an area of concern early on vs. Colorado. Look for the Buffaloes to pull the road upset as long as they can establish the run early.

Against the spread (ATS)

COLORADO +9.5 (-110) should be able to keep this within a one-score margin, assuming it does not win outright. Stanford didn’t show much last week to deserve to be a favorite by more than one score, whether it’s at home or not. Stanford failed to cover three of its final four at home down the stretch last season, and each of its final four overall. That includes a 16-13 loss at Colorado on Nov. 9, 2019. Look for another Buffs cover here.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 54.5 (-110) appears to be a little low after Colorado’s outburst against UCLA, and Stanford’s inability to stop Oregon’s rushing attack last week. However, the sample size is still rather small, so don’t get too carried away slamming the Over. However, that is the way to go here based on last week’s returns.
