Bad weather favors the underdog, because it introduces more variance into the outcome of a game. So you gotta ask yourself one question, is Stanford or Oregon the underdog in this game?

Stanford is the favorite.  A 3 point favorite to be precise.  But since Stanford is at home, that implies the teams are more or less equals.  An assessment I suspect is accurate.  However, the Ducks are all about spin moves and crisp cuts.  In college a quick slip and the runner is down.  So the rain favors Stanford's game.  The rain is Oregon's climate.  The rain probably will quiet Stanford's generally quiet crowd.

I like the idea of Stanford playing on a wet surface, but on a clear night for Luck's throws.  And that could happen.
