Why is this pt spread only 7......Oregon vs Stanford

Mayme I'm missin somethin here....But Oregon rollin on offense and defense now. They seem to be gettin better every week.......

Stanford on the other hand, was startin to look pretty good about 4 weeks ago, then they didn't appear to be that good after all

Oregon headed towards the Rose Bowl. And theres no let up in there game

Stanford is better than you're making them out to be.  Their conference losses were on the road to Oregon St. and Arizona (two good football teams).  Meanwhile, they have crushed Washington, my Bruins, and Arizona St. at home ... plus, they're coming off a bye and Oregon is coming off the highly emotional USC game.

This could be close throughout.

people are thinking let down after a big win, on the road, and stanford getting up for a big conference game.  personally i think it's close in the first half, they go into the halftime get chewed out, and come out in the second half and pull away.

oregon's a much better team with a lot of speed.  if you don't think speed is a factor than look up the stats on the oregon st vs. stanford game. 

Nahhhhhhhh........Looks like a game i'll stay away from.............

But a good game to watch

I believe the line started low because Stanford has the ability to grind the clock & limit the # of oregon possesions. That's a big part of their game & I'm sure they'll try to emphasize that on Saturday. Key to the game will be if UO gets up early..........Stanford will have to start throwing more eventually & then it's lights out Irene.........they'll get smoked. If UO doesnt get up early then Stanford can hang for a while.

 I got UO -5........

I was a little worried about this game until I saw a replay of Stanford play and saw how slow defensively they are. Stanford will score points but Oregon have too many weapons. At anything less than a TD was a play for me. Now at +7.5....I dont know anymore. But Oregon rolls in this one

I agree with everything here...but in the end Oregon will cover 7 and win by about 10-12. Too good to fast.
