Betting on Stanford Cardinal
- Season record: 3-4.
- Spread: +16.5 .
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (+525).
- Over/Under: 66.5
The Cardinals have slowly recovered from a slow start to the season, and their visit to California will be essential to keep their hopes up for a Bowl this year.
Stanford’s defense has been the crucial to the team’s last two victories, allowing just 14 points to their opponents. Although, against the Bruins, the best attacking team on the ground of the nation, Stanford will face a tough challenge.
The Cardinals’ problems come from their offense. While the defense could stop the attack of their opponents, the offense must be committed if they want to surprise them as well. Stanford is averaging just 25 points per game, and in their last two games, they have failed to score more than 16 points.
Betting on the UCLA Bruins
- Season record: 6-1.
- Spread: +16.5 .
- Moneyline from BetMGM: (-750).
- Over/Under: 66.5
Despite having lost only once, and remaining in the top 25 teams in the nation, the Bruins need to win this game to remain in contention to be in the PAC-12 Championship Game this season.
To do so, they must turn the page quickly, with the support of their fans, which will be very important when facing a Stanford team that is on the rise, and that has defeated them in three of the last five meetings.
UCLA’s answer will be in its high-powered offense and what they can do against a Stanford’s defense that has performed more than decently. The Bruins are in 10th place in the nation in total yards, and they average 39 points per game, numbers that have made up for a poor defense this season, and which is bound to have a good game against a weak Cardinal offense.
JefeBet Prediction
UCLA is a much better team than Stanford is, and they’re going to win the game, but they won’t do it by a landslide. The Cardinal team have legitimate aspirations to even their record this year, and historically, they have been a very tough opponent for the California team.
In addition, at the Bruins’ last six home games, they have a 5-0-1 mark playing against the spread. In the last 14 meetings between the two teams, Stanford’s record is 10-3-1 playing against the spread, and the visiting team in the last four games has a 3-0-1 record also playing against the spread.
Prediction: Cardinal Spread.
