Denver University at Stanford

Stanford is a big favorite, but how good is this team? They've been average at home straight up and the Cardinal is just 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games. Stanford is 2-3 the last five games, losing twice as a favorite. The last game they were 19-point chalk over Seattle but won 68-57 shooting 34% and trailing 30-27 at the half! And that's the major weakness, they can't shoot, shooting just .388% as a team. The Cardinal returns just 12 letterwinners, including two starters, from last season's squad. Denver is about defense and slowing the pace down, allowing 60 and 61 points the last two games. All-Sun Belt Conference First Team member Chris Udofia leads the way and was voted 2011-12 SBC Defensive Player of the Year and All-SBC First Team last season. Look for a slow, defensive game and grab the dog. Play Denver.
