Did anyone happen to mention we are favored by 11 1/2 points?

The bookies know Shaw really well...
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - BostonCard - 09-04-2015
We might want to add "the spread" to the list of participants, just to see if the wisdom of the crowd really is better.
According to VegasInsider, the current line is Stanford at -12 with an over/under of 47.5 (for ease, we'll round that to 48), which implies a 30 to 18 Stanford win.

We usually beat the spread.
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - CornFed - 09-04-2015
I think the line opened at 10, so the smart money is pouring into Stanford late. :D
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - ThePassionOfTheChryst - 09-04-2015
I should probably make my pick. I'm thinking Stanford wins but late. I'll say 21-17.

Clearly, 2014 was an aberration and that data point should be tossed out. Let's party like it's 2011! 8)

I just took over a PAC picke-em's on another board and it is solely against the spread, the formulas in the spreadsheet with 12 teams and about 25 participants are silly. I prefer straight up. I say that about my Cutty Sark and Jack Sark too.

You've just reminded me that I've got a bottle of tequila in my freezer, the contents of which have been eagerly awaiting ingestion.
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - CTcard - 09-04-2015
I guess I cannot put off my prediction any longer.
Mighty Trees - 31
Cropped Cats - 20
Both teams come out kind of hyper with lots of adrenaline for the first game and thus liable to make lots of mistakes. However, that's a bigger problem for an inexperienced defense (Stanford) than an inexperienced offense (NW). Stanford gets off to a big lead. In the second half, adrenaline wears off and NW makes a comeback. It's kind of like 2009 at Wake Forest all over again, but the gulf between these two teams is a bit bigger. Stanford holds on.
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - Brannerite - 09-05-2015
Stanford 28
NW 17
I'd like to offer a quick thank you to whoever is running the predictions this year.
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - amartinsu13 - 09-05-2015
Stanford 31, Northwestern 17

I don't care about this contest anymore.Â
Re: Prediction Thread for Northwestern Game - JohnR34231 - 09-05-2015
Well, at least NW scored about the number of points we all thought they would.

Now that just goes too far. There are far better forms of self-flagellation available. Maybe pluck your eyes out? :o

They probably fed that muck to our boys for breakfast this morning. Sorry, just looking for an excuse.
