Result: Loss
This is an 8* BLOWOUT on Maryland.
While I won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset, I do think that Maryland can keep this one a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe and look for the Terps to sneak in through the back door down the stretch with what I feel to be a very healthy spread afforded to them in the Foster Farms Bowl. With the 14-point spread, Maryland is officially the biggest underdog this bowl season. Stanford was incredibly inconsistent this year and would finish 7-5 overall, failing to reach double-digit wins for the first time since 2009. Despite finishing with back to back wins to close the year, the Cardinal would finish with the Pac-12's lowest-ranked offense at 386.5 YPG and tied for fewest points at 25.7 per game. Stanford obviously gets the job done with tough defensive play, but with more than a month off to prepare for this game, I think that Terrapins' QB CJ Brown can be productive, he'd run for team highs of seven TD's and 569 yards, including 194 in the last two games. And note that Brown will be getting a boost today from the expected return of WR Stefon Diggs who leads the team with 52 receptions despite playing in just nine games. In my opinion, this is a few too many points, making MARYLAND the savvy move here.
