AAA's OPENING DAY 3-GAME CFB DESTRUCTION PASS (2:30 EST KICK-OFF!)
(NCAAF) Stanford vs. Rice,
Point Spread: -30.00 | -110.00 Stanford (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on Stanford.

This game is being played in Sydney Australia. The Cardinal have some big holes to fill this year, but they have plenty of young talent in key positions, as well as plenty of veteran leadership on both sides of the line to fall back on. The Cardinal were 10-3 last year and then beat UNC in the Sun Bowl. Rice was just 3-9 overall. These teams actually met on November 26th last year and Stanford scored the 41-17 victory. Suffice it to say, we're expecting a much bigger rout here today. Stanford turns to QB Keller Chryst, who had 905 yards and ten TD's last season. Replacing RB Christian McCaffrey won't be easy, but Bryce Love will try, he ran 112 times for 779 yards and three TD's last year. The strength of Stanford though lies on both the offensive and defensive lines. And that doesn't bode well for the undersized Owls, who were held to 17 points or less in half their games last season. The Rice defense struggled as well, with the opposition posting 41 points or more seven times. Note that the Owls also start a redshirt freshman at QB today in Sam Glaseman (also note that Stanford is 7-2 ATS in its last nine neutral field affairs.) Rice already has more questions than answers as we head into the season, which lines up perfectly for Stanford. Look for Chryst and company to shake off some early jitters/rust and pull away down the stretch for the comforable ATS cover. Play on the CARDINAL.
