Quote:Stanford vs. UCLA: At one point, the Bruins were the favorite to win the Pac-12 South, but now they find themselves swimming with quarterback Josh Rosen struggling to produce in a new system. David Shaw is the architect behind a Cardinals offensive attack that features creative ways of getting one of the best running backs in the country in Christian McCaffrey. UCLA's defense struggled to stop McCaffrey last year (he racked up 369 all purpose yards) is struggling this year by giving up 134 rushing yards per game (55th in FBS). Shaw will once again prove his superiority in the Pac-12, and McCaffrey will be leaving the game smelling like Roses. Pick: Stanford

Hard to figure out how to take this article:

http://www.thespread.com/ncaaf-articles/092316-college-football-week-4-picks-stanford-vs-ucla-9-24-16

They pick UCLA at +3, but write:

Quote:With all due respect to the Cougars’ No. 1 threat in the backfield, though, he’s no McCaffrey. Stanford’s multidimensional horse also boasts 10 receptions on the season, and he’s nearly impossible to contain in space. Suffice it to say, Jim Mora’s crew shouldn’t bank on improving to 5-1 vs. ranked foes since the beginning of 2014.

So maybe they are picking us but not to beat the spread?

Also, if UCLA is 5-1 against ranked teams since 2014, it's not hard to figure out who the one loss is to.

Lastly, ESPN's FEI picks us as less than an even bet.

Fowler was on campus the last couple days. He kept tweeting little love letters to Stanford. It was adorable.

Quote:Oddsmakers at online sports book BetDSI currently list the host squad as a 3-point favorite.

As someone previously quipped, are they saying we're the home team?  ???  :P

I thought about replying with 22 trophies symbolizing Director's Cups, but that'll just troll the Alabama fan(s) who posted the replies with 16 trophies.




Re: Stanford @ UCLA predictions - CTcard - 09-23-2016

I'll go with,

arbor major  28
ursa minor    17

Stanford offense continues its pace of 1 point per game improvement, but the defense ends up giving up a cheap TD.



Re: Stanford @ UCLA predictions - BostonCard - 09-23-2016

Speaking of Manuel, Ledecky and McCaffrey... hope there is no SI jinx.
