Stanford at Oregon

Stanford has good balance with inside/out scoring, plus tough defense. They know how to compete with top teams as the Cardinal has an opportunity to register its second road win over a top-25 opponent, having already knocked off No. 10 Connecticut in Hartford last month. Stanford is off a defeat, but the team is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a loss. They won't try and run with uptempo Oregon, but will lean on their great defense. Oregon won 13 in a row to begin the year before back-to-back losses against Colorado (100-91) and California (96-83). The Ducks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games, 5-15-2 ATS against the Pac 12, and 1-7 ATS after a defeat. When these teams met last year it was not about going uptempo. Stanford registered its biggest win of the season in a 76-52 win at home, then one month later in Eugene, Oregon, the Ducks answered with a 77-66 victory. Stanford is 4-1 UNDER the total on the road, and on a 5-2 run UNDER the total overall. In addition, the UNDER is 9-3-1 in the Ducks last 13 vs. a team with a winning record. And when these rivals meet, the UNDER is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings. Play Stanford and the UNDER.
