Stanford at USC odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Stanford at USC odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Stanford Cardinal (11-6, 4-3 Pac-12) travel to meet the No. 15 USC Trojans (17-2, 7-2) Thursday at Galen Center in Los Angeles. Tip-off is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Stanford vs. USC odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Cardinal snapped a two-game mini skid with a 79-76 win in a contentious game against Arizona State Saturday. Sun Devils coaches and players were angry that the Cardinal made 41 trips to the free-throw line compared to just 9 free throws for Sparky.

The Trojans have posted three straight wins and covers since a setback at home against Oregon Jan. 15. The most recent win was a 78-56 blasting of Arizona State Monday as 12-point favorites.

The last time these teams met was Jan. 11 when the Cardinal pulled off a 75-69 home upset and served the Trojans their first loss of the season.

Stanford at USC odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

USC 74, Stanford 67

Money line

USC (-700) will cost you seven times your potential return. That’s just too expensive, especially against a Cardinal side that has already proven it can take down the Trojans.

PASS.

Against the spread

STANFORD +10.5 (-105) is a decent play catching double digits from USC.

The Cardinal are 5-2-1 ATS across their last eight as an underdog, while winning three of the last five outright as a ‘dog. That includes Jan. 11 at home against USC, a stunning 6-point win as 6.5-point underdogs.

Stanford isn’t expected to pull off the sweep here, but it should be able to keep USC within sight all evening.

Over/Under

The OVER 140.5 (-107) is the lean, but play it lightly. The Under has cashed in three of the last four games overall for Stanford, although the Over hit in the first meeting. The Over has also cashed in five of the past seven games overall for the Trojans while hitting in three of their past four outings at home.

Arizona at Stanford odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Arizona Wildcats at Stanford Cardinal odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 3 Arizona Wildcats (14-1, 4-0 Pac-12) visit the Stanford Cardinal (10-5, 3-2) for a Thursday 11 p.m. ET battle at Maples Pavilion in Tucson, Arizona. Below, we look at the Arizona vs. Stanford odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Arizona lost a non-conference game at Tennessee Dec. 22. The Wildcats have since had three lost dates and three easy wins. On Saturday, F Azuolas Tubelis scored 32 points in an 82-64 rout of Utah. Tubelis has scored 15.9 points per game for a Wildcat five leading the Pac-12 in scoring (88.5 PPG).

Stanford lost 67-64 at Washington Saturday, snapping a four-game win streak. SU was a minus-13 in turnovers (the Cardinal committed 21 miscues in the game). Stanford ranks last in the league and in the bottom-50 in NCAA-I in turnover rate.

Over/Under (O/U): 150.5 (O: -115 | U: -107)

Arizona at Stanford odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 79, Stanford 68

Money line

Too high a price and not enough return. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Against the spread

Arizona is 1-4 ATS in its last five games. Stanford is 5-1 ATS in its last six games.

Arizona is playing its first road games since Dec. 22 and just its second since Dec. 11. Stanford is coming off a bad game but has been trending the right way over recent weeks.

The Wildcats should be able to leverage Stanford turnovers into a two or three-possession cushion most of the way. But the home venue and strong Cardinal rebounding give the home five enough of a pushback to make them a value.

TAKE STANFORD +11.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The total has gone Under in four of Arizona’s last five games. And the Under has hit in 5-of-the-last-7 games in this series.

Look for two young teams to engage in a contest decided more inside the arc and with enough Stanford presence in the paint to slow the Wildcat tempo.

TAKE THE UNDER 150.5 (-107).

Notre Dame at Stanford odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Notre Dame Fighting Irish at Stanford Cardinal odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (10-1) hit the West Coast for their annual game with the Stanford Cardinal (3-8) Saturday. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET (on FOX) at Stanford Stadium. Below, we look at the Notre Dame vs. Stanford odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Irish are No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, and No. 6 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. Not only do they need to win this regular-season finale, but they’ll also need some help, hoping to jump two teams in the CFP Rankings to get a shot at playing for the national title.

Notre Dame, which crushed Georgia Tech 55-0 last week, is on a six-game winning streak since losing to No. 4 Cincinnati 24-13 at home Oct. 2.

Stanford enters on a six-game losing streak, recently suffering a 44-11 home loss to rival California last Saturday. It’s hard to believe that the Cardinal upset then-No. 3 Oregon 31-24 in overtime at home Oct. 2, which happens to be their last win.

Over/Under (O/U): 53.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

Notre Dame at Stanford odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Notre Dame 56, Stanford 13

Money line

PASS. The Irish will roll, but backing a -1200 money line is amateur hour. You can include it in a parlay, but there’s really no benefit there either.

Against the spread

NOTRE DAME -20.5 (-112) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

ATS records: Notre Dame 8-3 | Stanford 3-8

The Irish need to earn as many style points as possible if they want to jump over two teams and land in the top 4 of the CFP Rankings.

The defense has been nasty of late, not allowing a touchdown in the last three games. Before the 55-0 spanking of Georgia Tech, Notre Dame won at Virginia 28-3 Nov. 13 and defeated a visiting Navy squad 34-6 Nov. 6.

For the season, the Irish have allowed just 18.6 points per game to rank 12th in the country and only 12 rushing touchdowns, tied for 27th.

That doesn’t bode well for the Cardinal, who average 308.9 offensive yards per game (121st), including 89.8 rushing yards per game (126th). While they pass for 219.1 yards per game (78th), they average just 21.0 points per game (111th).

Over/Under

OVER 53.5 (-112) is the way to go here.

O/U records: Notre Dame 5-6 | Stanford 5-6

With this being the Irish’s final regular-season game, they should be looking to score at least 50 points as they need the already-mentioned “as many style points as possible.”

Notre Dame put up 45 points in its last visit to Stanford Stadium in a 21-point win two seasons ago.

As for Stanford, it has been outscored 128-32 in its last three games.

This could get real ugly for the home side.

Utah at Stanford odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Utah Utes at Stanford Cardinal odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

On Friday night, the Utah Utes (5-3) will take on the Stanford Cardinal (3-5). Held at Stanford Stadium, the kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at Utah at Stanford odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Coming off a dominating 44-24 victory vs. UCLA and nearly upsetting Oregon, Utah has lost just three games. However, going on the road in the Pac-12 is never easy.

All three of Utah’s losses are on the road. The Utes’ strength is in their run game, nearing 200 yards per game on the ground. That’s incredibly impressive and something the Cardinals will look to limit.

As for Stanford, at home, the Cardinal gave Oregon its only loss. Oddly enough, two of their three wins are over Oregon and USC. Stanford has lost three straight games, two of which were on the road.

Stanford’s offense is the opposite of Utah’s, relying heavily on QB Tanner McKee. He has 14 touchdowns and 5 interceptions on the season.

Over/Under (O/U): 54.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Utah at Stanford odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 31, Stanford 27

Money line

PASS on the money line.

If Stanford weren’t so cold, I’d suggest its +260 money line, but I’m going to pass here as the points are just too much to overlook. Especially given that Stanford hasn’t won in over a month.

Against the spread

“LEAN” on STANFORD +8.5 (-112) as it’s not winning, but will make this a tight game. Stanford would’ve covered a touchdown spread in three of its last four games.

The Cardinal didn’t play well early on in the season but has kept games close since.

With a pass-heavy offense behind McKee, Stanford will try to expose a Utah team that gave up more than 400 passing yards to USC. The Utes have allowed over 200 passing yards in five straight games.

In Utah’s last two road games, the Utes have given up over 300 passing yards per game. Given how McKee-centric Stanford’s offense is, I think the Cardinal will live or die by McKee’s arm.

I think Stanford lives in this scenario. Neither defense is overly competent, so I’m favoring the team with the crowd backing them.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 54.5 (-105) as QB Cameron Rising may be too much to deal with.

Rising is a dual-threat quarterback and is Utah’s second-leading rusher, topping 300 yards on the season. The Utes have scored more than 100 points in their last three road games combined.

Stanford is giving up over 200 yards per game on the ground.

The Cardinal is bad at what Utah does well. I expect Stanford to load the box on Friday, making Rising’s beat the Cardinal in the air. If Utah doesn’t, Stanford will roll.

I expect points to be scored, and I think McKee will keep Stanford in this game. Nonetheless, I think a high-scoring affair is a safe bet given the two offenses taking the field.

Stanford at Arizona State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Stanford Cardinal at Arizona State Sun Devils odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Stanford Cardinal (3-2, 2-1 Pac-12) travel to meet the No. 25 Arizona State Sun Devils (4-1, 2-0) Friday at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Stanford vs. Arizona State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Cardinal are coming off a 31-24 upset victory in overtime over Oregon last weekend on “The Farm,” winning outright as 8.5-point underdogs. Stanford has won and covered the spread in three of the past four outings, including a win at USC Sept. 11.

The Sun Devils bounced back from a loss at BYU to win and cover their first two conference games against Colorado and at UCLA. The Over has cashed in each of the two league games after a 3-0 Under run in the non-conference portion of the schedule.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Over/Under (O/U): 52.5 (O: -108 | U: -112)

Stanford at Arizona State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona State 26, Stanford 23

Money line

Arizona State (-540) will cost you more than five times your potential return. That’s just too much risk for very little reward.

AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

STANFORD +12.5 (-107) is a strong play as its looks to use last weekend’s upset of Oregon as a springboard into the remainder of the conference schedule.

Arizona State is considered the favorite in the Pac-12 South, but it’s a risky play as a double-digit favorite considering its recent record against the number. ASU is 4-12 ATS in the past 16 as a favorite and 1-8 ATS in the previous nine as a home fave.

Over/Under

The UNDER 52.5 (-112) is a solid play. While the head-to-head trends point to an Under play, that’s not the only reason. Yes, the Under is 4-0 in the past four meetings in Tempe and the prior four meetings overall. But more importantly, AZ State is allowing just 288.6 total yards of offense per game, 146.4 passing yards per game and 17.4 PPG.

Stanford has yielded just 191.0 passing yards per game and 26.8 PPG. If we see big plays, it will be in the run game.

Oregon at Stanford odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon at Stanford odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 3 Oregon Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) head to The Farm to play the Stanford Cardinal (2-2, 1-1) at Stanford Stadium this Saturday. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Oregon at Stanford odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Oregon has that high-profile win at Ohio State under its belt, but the Ducks have played down to their competition as heavy favorites in each of the last two weeks (48-7 vs. Stony Brook as a 42-point favorite; 41-19 vs. Arizona as a 29.5-point favorite).

QB Anthony Brown hasn’t been explosive—he’s averaging 7.9 yards per attempt—but he’s thrown 7 TDs without an interception this season while the Ducks are rushing for more than 200 yards per game.

Similar to Brown, Stanford QB Tanner McKee has been a low-risk, low-ceiling signal caller with an 8-0 TD/INT ratio. The Cardinal defense is banged up, and it showed in its 35-24 loss to UCLA last week, giving up 467 total yards against the Bruins.

Over/Under (O/U): 57.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

Oregon at Stanford odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon 34, Stanford 21

Money line

Oregon has won the last two games of this series (21-6 in 2019; 35-14 in 2020) and likely makes it a third, but there’s too much risk at -300 to bet the money line. PASS and target the spread instead.

Against the spread

Stanford likely enters this game without its top three running backs and a starting offensive guard, linebacker, and cornerback. The Cardinal run defense was exposed last week against UCLA and faces an even tougher test with Oregon’s running game.

Take a much more talented OREGON -7.5 (108) team to cover on the road and win its third straight in the series.

Over/Under

Both teams are an even 2-2 on the Over/Under this year. Both offenses like to chew up clock with their conservative, ball-control philosophies and points will be hard to come by for a beat-up Stanford offense.

We’re leaning UNDER 57.5 (-108) on a relatively high number in this one.

Stanford at USC odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Stanford at USC odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Stanford Cardinal (0-1) and USC Trojans (1-0) meet Saturday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Stanford at USC odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Cardinal flamed out in a neutral-site game in Arlington, Texas, falling against Kansas State 24-7. Stanford was nearly shut out, too, scoring a touchdown with 3:16 remaining in regulation to cap the scoring.

Stanford managed just 39 rushing yards on 22 attempts while throwing for 194 yards. K-State gashed them for 200 yards on the ground while sacking the Cardinal four times.

USC pushed past San Jose State 30-7, covering a 13.5-point spread as the Under (61) easily connected. While the Trojans allowed 308 passing yards, they shut down the run, allowing just 68 yards on the ground.

Over/Under (O/U): 53.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Stanford at USC odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

USC 34, Stanford 13

Money line

You just can’t play USC (-850), as they will cost you eight-and-a-half times your potential return. It’s just not a recommended long-term betting strategy.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

USC -17.5 (-107) is a much better value, especially playing at home. QB Kedon Slovis was good enough last week, and the defense was strong, particularly against the run. The kicking game was also on point. The Trojans should be able to take care of the Cardinal, who were overmatched against K-State. It will be worse against a much better USC side.

Stanford has always been a thorn in the side of USC, so know you’ll be bucking the trends. In fact, Stanford is 7-3 ATS in the past 10 trips to USC. However, the Cardinal are just not the same team as they have been over the past decade or so.

Over/Under

UNDER 53.5 (-110) is the best play on the board here. USC was able to really clamp down on a pretty powerful San Jose State offense last week, and they’ll do the same in this one.

Like the spread, you’ll be picking against the prevailing trends. The Over has cashed in five straight meetings at the Coliseum. I think this is a game in the 40’s, however, and I’ll gladly play against the recent history.

First look: Stanford at USC odds and lines, Trojans are heavy favorites

Previewing the college football Week 2 matchup between the Stanford Cardinal and USC Trojans, with odds, trends and head-to-head records.

The Stanford Cardinal (0-1) and USC Trojans (1-0) renew their annual rivalry this Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET in L.A. Memorial Coliseum. Below, we look at Stanford at USC odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

Rankings according to the USA TODAY AFCA Coaches Poll.

The preseason No. 14 Trojans pulled away late in their opener, a 30-7 win over San Jose State. Star QB Kedon Slovis went 24-for-36 for 256 yards and 2 TD, though the defense showed some holes through the air as San Jose State threw for 308 yards. USC has now covered four of its last five games dating back to last season.

Stanford’s opener was ugly in an early (9:00 a.m. PT) neutral-site game against Kansas State in Dallas Saturday. The Cardinal mustered just seven points and 233 total yards of total offense in a 24-7 loss. Its once-vaunted running game averaged 1.7 yards per carry with little rhythm from their two-quarterback rotation through the air (6.5 yards per attempt).

Stanford at USC head-to-head

Saturday marks the 100th meeting between these two in a long-standing rivalry. They didn’t face each other in 2020 due to the COVID-shortened season; the last time they missed a year was during World War II. USC holds the all-time series lead 63-33-3.

More recently, USC has won three of the last four games in this series, beating Stanford in their last two home games by a combined 87-44 score.

Stanford vs. Kansas State odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Stanford vs. Kansas State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Stanford Cardinal and Kansas State Wildcats meet Saturday in a neutral-site game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Stanford vs. Kansas State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Stanford won four of six games in an abbreviated schedule in 2020. Senior QB Jack West has been tabbed as the starting quarterback, and his life will be made easier with the ability to hand off to RB Austin Jones. The latter gobbled up 550 rushing yards in his six games last season.

K-State will try to take advantage of a Stanford defense which coughed up 31.7 points per game and 6.6 yards per play. Look for RB Deuce Vaughn to be leaned on early and often, as the Cardinal really struggled against the run.

Over/Under (O/U): 53.5 (O: -115 | U: -107)

Stanford vs. Kansas State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 30, Stanford 20

Money line

KANSAS STATE (-165) is a fine play straight up in this neutral-site battle at Jerry World. It should play like a home game, as the Wildcats are a little more familiar with AT&T Stadium and should have quite a few more fans making the trip into what is essentially Big 12 country.

Really, as long as QB Skylar Thompson is back to his pre-injury form, and the Deuce gets loose for the Wildcats, this could turn out to be a rather lopsided affair.

Against the spread

KANSAS STATE -3.5 (+100) is a decent value at even money, although I don’t love a line of three and a hook. Still, I think the Cardinal defense will have its hands full with a talented K-State attack.

Look for the Wildcats to push for a double-digit win before the dust settles in the Metroplex.

Over/Under

UNDER 53.5 (-107) seems like a bit of a low number, but it’s the right total. I’d go lightly and take the Under.

Stanford’s defense up front is a little lacking, but it’s decent in the back end. While I expect K-State to run with abandon, running also runs the clock. Under bettors love running teams dominating.

Stanford at USC: Three things to know

USC won at Stanford 72-66 in early February as a 3-point favorite. The Trojans led for only five and a half minutes but broke out of a 66-all tie with 1:45 to go by scoring the final six points of the game. Freshman F Evan Mobley led the Trojans with 23 points and 11 rebounds.
Stanford enters on a three-game slide, most recently falling at home to Oregon State 73-62 as a 5-point favorite. Pac-12 Player of the Year candidate Oscar da Silva missed the last two games due to a lower-body injury and is listed as day to day. The senior forward’s 18.8 points per game rank second in the conference – behind Arizona State Remy Martin’s 21.3 PPG – and he is also the Cardinal’s top rebounder (6.8 RPG).
USC fell out of first place in the Pac-12 after dropping its last two contests. The Trojans lost 80-62 at Colorado as 3.5-point underdogs Thursday and were upset at Utah by a 71-61 count as 4.5-point favorites Saturday. The 7-foot Mobley, expected to be a high NBA Draft pick after the season, leads the Trojans in points (16.4 PPG), rebounds (8.5 RPG), blocks (2.9 BPG) and steals (1.0 SPG).

Stanford at USC: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

USC 77, Stanford 66

Money line (ML)

USC is 12-2 at home and shouldn’t have a problem winning this one. Stanford is 6-5 on the road and 0-4 in its last four trips to Galen Center; however, betting the Trojans (-350) is too risky. PASS.
