This is actually one of our strongest sharp versus square bets of the season. Stanford could easily be undefeated. Last week, that outlandish prevent defense gave them their second three-point loss of the year.

Stanford is giving up a miniscule 8.6 points per game and they are playing a squad that gave up 60 last week. The most Stanford gave up this season was 17 points. The fewest WSU gave up was 21. The Cardinal hold teams to 1.2 yards per rushing attempt below their normal average and 2.5 yards per pass below!

WSU only averages 2.8 yards per rushing attempt so it is obvious how the superior defense needs to game plan. Stanford leads the nation in pass defense (107.4 yards per game).
