This is one of the biggest games of the season as the winner here has life to play for the BCS Title. If there is one team that has been able to slow down the "Quack Attack," it has been Stanford. Two years ago the Cardinal lost to Oregon 53-30, but that final score was very misleading. Stanford committed five turnovers in that game, but held Oregon to 387 total yards at 6.1 yards per play. Last year on the road, Stanford held the Ducks to just 14 points in a huge 17-14 upset, with the Ducks averaging just 5.26 yards per play. Given that Oregon averages 8.1 yards per play, those numbers are very good. The Stanford defense has allowed fewer yards per game this year than the defense from a year ago, while the offense is also a bit better. Stanford is on a 10-1 ATS run vs. unbeaten teams and they are 20-7 ATS under David Shaw following a win. Take the points and play on Stanford in what should be a close game.
