This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on Stanford.
Setting the scene: The stakes are high on Friday night as 3-0 Stanford takes on the 4-0 on Huskies in Pac-12 Conference action. The Cardinal stayed focused and managed to pull away for a 22-13 road win last week at UCLA, while Washington had to hold on for dear life in its 35-28 OT victory over Arizona. Ultimately though we think Stanford's smothering defensive play, combined with its next-to-impossible-to-stop running attack will prove to be too much for the Huskies this evening.
The Cardinal: It was a tough battle, but Stanford delivered in the clutch, getting the go-ahead TD with less than 30 seconds to play. Ryan Burns had just 137 yards with one TD and one INT, but RB Christian McCaffrey finished with 138 yards rushing off 26 carries. So far he has 436 yards with three TD's this year. The defense was remarkable though, holding UCLA to just 77 yards on the ground, while containing QB Josh Rosen, who had just a single TD strike. So far the defense has conceded an average of just 12 PPG, good for eighth in the nation.
The Huskies. Washington let a big lead against the Wildcats slip away, but managed to gut out the OT win. Jake Browning was 14 of 21 for 160 yards, two TD's and an INT. Lavon Coleman would go for 181 yards off just 11 carries. So far Washington has faced four very vanilla defenses to open the season, part of the reason why it's averaged a whopping 45.8 PPG thus far. The defense has been very good, conceding 14.5 PPG to this point.
The bottom line: Note that Stanford is 6-1 ATS in its last seven against a team with a winning home record and 8-2 ATS in its last 20 after giving up less than 20 points in its last game, while Washington is just 1-4 ATS in its last five after allowing more than 200 rushing yards. As we stated off the top, we think that Stanford's defense is a special one and one which is going to dictate the flow of this contest. Combined with McCaffrey's dominance on the ground, all signs point to the points as the savvy move in this contest. Play on the CARDINAL.
