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.
