I know for a fact that UWs Night before "team snack" is focused around the milk shake and sundae bar with Gummy Bears being the focus.

Stanford, staying at Hyatt Bellevue, is all about whole wheat, including bagels and pasta.  No butter in anything, only olive oil.

If this is any indication of the of the attention to small details it shows you why UW is not as good of a program as Tree

Stanford wins this by 2 TDs.

Who have the huskies played this year at home..SDS and Port St..lol? Come on guys, Stanford virgin QB proved his mettle under home crowd expectations burden in the biggest game of his life till date while being compared to Luck. This kid went toe to toe with USC...No one would have faulted him even if he had lost that game.

Stanford restricted USC to 14 points, and SDS scored 12 points against WASH on the road.

On the other hand, underdogs are covering midweek when thats the only game available to bet on.

Stanford beat #2 USC as a huge underdog. 

They have since had 2 weeks to prepare for this game.  WASH is WAY over-rated.

a  useless nonsense commen here...

Nunes looks less like a rookie after each week, and after a game vs USC ... this will be a cake walk for him, and i doubt very very very much he will even be rattled

Hey wise, Yes I did see its now down to 6.5 thanks!
I spoke to one of my clients who is a sportsbook director at one of the mgm properties and he said theyre getting equal action on both sides.

Zoot,

Offshore a few places have it at -6. If it comes up hare at  6, I'm
going to grab some more. I think it's amazing that they're
getting equal action at 6 1/2. The same thing happened to me
last week on Nevada. I had them beating Hawai'i bad and when
the # which opened at 10, got down to 8 1/2, I jumped on it.
They still bat it down to 7. Hawai'i got crushed. Looks like the
same thing here this week.

shouldn't this line movement be raising some red flags?

looks to me like more bets (63%) are coming in on Stanford.  So the foolish bettors must be the ones with more money...

Looking at last seasons defense Stanford only gave up an average 19 ppg on the road.

Huskies defense gave up an average 27 ppg at home.

Stanford - 7

WISEGUY36, sorry if i'm not helping you sleep well at nite.

i just get a little timid when i see a road favorite where it seems like the public is hammering and the line is moving against it.

game is being played where the Seahawks play FYI, not sure that means anything though.

I sleep very well at night. I think it's important to know that I don't
make my college football investment decisions on " public
perception".In fact, most of the time I'm on the other side of the
public.I have a pretty strict criteria that I use to make a selection.
and where the money is not part of that criteria.I you use that as
your basis for a wager, or a "trend " you have forfeited your betting
edge.Playing in that stadium can only motivate Stanford players
on what it will be like when they play in the NFL.

I've seen Stanford play twice this season and have come away thinking the same thing about the QB after both games: He stinks.

 It won't matter.........LY Luck went 16-22/169 while they put up 446 yds rushing (10.1 ypc)..........they will likely have similar #'s Thurs. night.

If Nunes can make a few plays downfield, should open up the run game a bit.

Mugg,

#1. That game was at home and IMO Washington's defense was much worse than it is now with the new coordinator. #2. They had Luck. A big part of Stanford's run game success the last few years was Luck. Teams were scared of this guy and had to cover the pass so there were miles of room to run. Plus Tree is missing two high NFL picks on the line. So far Stanford has run for 3.5 YPC and 3.8 YPC against the likes of SJSU and Duke. They looked to get better against USC but take out one breakaway 59 yard run and they were under 4.0 YPC again. When your QB stinks teams will stuff the box to contain the run and try to make the kid beat them. That's exactly what Washington will do IMO.

andarmac,

 Huskies D is a little better than it was LY but it's still far from good. They played well vs SDSU & PS but it was glaringly obvious vs LSU that they still aren't in the class of the upper echelon teams as far as size & depth.............& the OL might be good when they're healthy.
 Trust me, as a Huskies fan I'd love to say they could win this game.........but I've seen this a lot in the L5 years.........they just don't have the horses up front to compete with good OL's & DL's..........& it hurts them. I didn't think losing Polk would hurt this much but it does. Price is an excellent qb but can't carry this team. A lot will have to happen for the Dawgs to stay in this game.

Finally someone else see's through the trees, pun intended

Thanks Mugg
Everyone made waaaay too big of a deal in the usc game about them not having luck this year. All I kept saying was how it didnt matter because that much because they still have RB Taylor
