T.M. Selection: Stanford.

I like Stanford to cover the spread against Colorado in this game on Saturday. Stanford has looked shaky in their games lately but i think they can stop the bleeding here and get a win over Colorado. Stanford is 10-4 in home games this year and their defensive play has looked a lot better in their games lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to the opposing team in 3 in a row now and I think they can keep that going here. They have only played 1 home game over their previous 3 but that game ended in a win for them. I think they will give a good defensive effort here on their home court and they will be motivated to put an end to the streak Colorado is on. Colorado has won 4 games in a row but they are only 4-4 in road games this year. Also, all 4 of those wins were against the worst 3 teams in their conference and I think they are going to have a much tougher challenge here with Stanford. Colorado has also played their 2 most recent games on the road and I think this 3rd road game in a row against a much better team than what they have seen lately is going to get to them. I think Stanford will give a good defensive effort here being on their home floor and that should be enough to edge out Colorado here who can get derailed quickly if their shooting goes cold. Colorado's previous 3 losses were all game where they couldn't put up more than 60 points and I think this will be another one of those games where they will struggle. I like Stanford to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 71-62 Stanford.
