Howdy!

Another prediction thread incoming! After 4 weeks, we still have Griffin78 in the lead, with FarmBoy, Hank 91, and Leftcoast following behind. At #5 we have ESPN's Ted Miller, and Kevin Gemmell is at #14. These were additions suggested by cardboarders that can serve as a nice benchmark against "famous people".
While the average poster is worse than them, the best of us are much better predictors than the professionals. Ain't that something!

This Saturday at 7:30PM PDT Stanford will play the #15 Washington Huskies. I don't need to remind you what happened a year ago against this same team... and I'm sure the players in Cardinal have not forgotten either.

Vegas expects us to beat the puppies 30-22.5. My prediction is
Washington holds their own, and gets a few long plays on play-action passes. Stanford wins 27-21.

[Card Fan in OR]

Us, 38.    Them, 21.

Our offense continues to pick up against a good team. We do a decent job of containing the Huskies, but Price, Sankey and company do some damage.

[Leftcoast]

Sure, last year's game was close and the good guys lost but the game THIS year feels more like the previous three years - 2011: Stanford 65, UW 10; 2010: Stanford 41, UW 0,  2009 Stanford 34, UW 14. 

It's close in a low scoring first half but Stanford blows the game open in the third quarter with lockdown defense and big passing plays.

The spread could be bigger, but I think the D for the Huskies will provide the biggest challenge for Stanford. And we still put up around 30. But for the first time in a while, Shaw decides to leave the starters in until the 4th.

[CompSci87]

I'll go with 34-17. Huskies don't score any more than WSU did, but they get more style points by forcing Shaw to leave the starters in on defense much longer.

[Hank 91]

I've got it like this: Stanford 41, Washington 13. Sankey gets his yards (125 or so), but the Huskies don't get their points.

I used to think that the key to this season was pairing an above average offense with an elite defense. Now it appears that this team could be elite on both sides of the ball.

[fullmetal]

Stanford 41, UW 19.  Sankey, Price, and ASJ are too talented to completely keep off the board, I think, so one TD and a bunch of FGs sounds about right.  Meanwhile, the Stanford offense (and perhaps defense as well) keep trucking along.

Keith Price looks good but can't sustain early success against a swarming Stanford D. He's called on to run some, but that's not his game and he has two costly second-half fumbles that break the game open for Stanford.

Stanford 34-20.  I am tempted to predict a larger spread. The more Price has to throw, the larger the margin will get.
