UCLA at Stanford

The #2 team in the nation rolls into Stanford tonight and of course the public is all over UCLA (about 70% of public money rolling in on the Bruins). The public loves ranked teams vs. unranked opponents, especially when thtat ranked team is coming off a huge blowout win. UCLA crushed California by 16 points on Thursday. But Stanford is playing well themselves. They handed USC a 15 point whopping on Thursday and they have won and covered five of their last six games. This is a huge game for them at home and we expect a very good showing. Last year UCLA came in here and beat a favored Stanford team by 19 points. You can bet this game has been circled for the Cardinal who have revenge on their minds. They would love nothing more than to play spoiler tonight. The Trent Johnson-led Cardinal are 10-1 ATS as a home underdog and 15-4 ATS at home vs. top-level teams (those that outscore opponents by 8+ ppg)! Take the motivated home dog plus the points here.
