I can hardly believe Stanford is a dog.

We usually see eye to eye TD21 but this week, we are off some games. Stanford, I agree and good pick, line is at -1 now. I am staying away from the NC State-Marshall game because Marshall is a good football team. I wouldn't trust Notre Dame on the road against an up-tempo Wake Forest team which can tend to tire out opponents. UNLV is a great pick but the number is higher now in most places. Washington tends to play it close but after watching the Utah game and the letdown of Arizona State after San Diego State, I am tending to stay away from this game. Virginia Tech, I fully agree with. Iowa, I would stay away from this game as Wisconsin has their number in the last decade even when Iowa had a equal or better team. What happened against Byu was a letdown, but I think they will be ready to play a rivalry game and could easily cover 3.5. This start of Iowa has happened many times before, and Wisconsin always comes and takes care of business. BOL TD21

TD, Bol to ya this week my man. Just wanted to pick your brain on a couple. What your thoughts on U of I catching 27 at home against PSU on Friday night? PSU has OSU on deck, and I think Illinois just shocked the world last week with nearly knocking off a decent USF. IMO on a neutral field I think USF beats PSU but that because I feel like PSU is extremely overrated and James Frankin is a joke.
Also, Dawgs roll this week against Drew Lock and Mizzu. I'm going to wait and see if it will come down and I can catch it around 13 but I say a 55-27 Dawgs rout of the Tigers.
Side note How ridiculously overrated is ND? Struggle with Ball State and then Vandy just about hands them their lunch in their own back yard? But they "beat a SEC team" so I think they should be somewhere around 3 or 4 yeah? Freakin joke. I can't stand listening to sports talk and they mention ND and playoffs in the same sentence.
Anywho I hope you kill it this week. gl man

Stanford is a sucker play. Not sure why everyone is on them. They haven't played on road game yet and they've been awful on offense. I know Oregon isn't a great defensive team, but they were respectable at home last year and in a night game there with a big crowd there is ZERO value there.
Stanford plays poorly on the road to start off every year. They lost at San Diego State last year. Lost by a hundred to Washington the year before. They're not in sync at all on offense and yeah defensively they're pretty good. But they've played struggling offenses and those performances were at home. Stanford is a bad bet. I don't think Oregon is amazing, but they got a QB who can run and make all sorts of plays. Stanford hasn't seen a QB like that. I believe they lost on a neutral field to TCU team last year and got worn down in the second half. You guys are really overlooking how big a factor playing on the road is. Stanford struggles on the road on offense the last few years and defensively intensity is always gonna drop.
I don't care how bad Oregon looked last week. They should have won by 50 yes. But they also didn't care at all. Notre Dame has not looked good the past few weeks, but they stepped it up vs Michigan. Similar situation. You take Oregon or don't play this game.

Over 55.5 is a better bet 30-27 wins? I mean both teams should put up 20+ and you'd think one will put up 30+. If you bet under there is very little margin for error. 34-23 wins also. That total should be higher.

I think Stanford in top form may be a little better than Oregon in top form. It's hard to evaluate because I don't know how good Oregon's defense is. We know they're not great. But if they're average they'll be in good shape. The question is are they average or are they just god awful. That's really the big variable when assessing this game.
THE BEST TEAM OFTEN LOSES THE GAME IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. EXHIBIT A - OHIO STATE LOSING BY 30 AT IOWA LAST YEAR. This is so important to understand. It's a concept most bettors don't get. Why does the best team often lose? Because they're not prepared. Does Stanford come into this game having a lot of respect for Oregon? Probably not. Oregon hasn't been relevant for a few years. Stanford has a target on its back. Add in the fact that the crowd noise is gonna get Oregon so fired up and it's gonna be a hostile environment for Stanford.
You have to ask yourself - is Stanford gonna run for 8 yards every carry? Because you have to expect Oregon to get 30. That means you have to like Stanford to get in the upper thirties or more to win. They'll score. But they're gonna have to score a lot. I think Stanford will run it with some success, but I don't think it's just gonna be 10 yard gashes every play like they've done in some years past on Oregon. I don't think there is much value with either team. Feels like a 38-34ish game. But I'd go with Oregon because they have explosive playmakers on offense and I think Oregon will have a mentally tougher and prepared mindset than Stanford who I believe will be going through the motions like they do every year in early season road games.
But good luck. Good news for you I haven't been wrong much when replying to posts arguing against picks so I'm probably due to lose one.
