10* Stanford -2 This game comes down to defense and the competition these teams have faced thus far.........Stanford defense gives up 3.1 yds per rush and 3.7 yds per pass while ND's defense gives up 3.3 yds per rush and 6.9 yds per pass......both teams have a good defense but I believe ND's numbers are skewed because of their terrible schedule so far this year.......They have played Rice, Michigan, Purdue and Syracuse.......Looking at those teams you would think that Michigan was their toughest opponent but we all know they are not a good team right now and they have some internal problems as well.......Stanford has played USC and Washington and I don't think either of these teams are great they are better than anyone ND has faced so far this year and they went 1-1 in these games.......losing to USC 13-10 and beating Washington 20-13......I was on the Huskies last weekend vs Stanford because I was thinking they might be looking ahead to this matchup with the #8 Irish.......anyway, I think Stanford will control this game with their running game and hit some big plays off of play action.......plus I think they will get at least two turnovers from the Irish which will set them up for some easy scores.......Lastly, we have the angle of the lowered ranked team being favored over the higher ranked team on THE ROAD......very important because I could see Stanford at home being favored but on the road I think the bookmakers are trying to get some heavy action on the Irish and as I post the public is favoring the ND side at 60%.....I do believe the line is going to go to 3 before game time and that is why I am already playing this one....Stanford wins 27-13!!!!!!
