The Stanford Cardinal have Christian McCaffrey in the backfield, and one would think they would be running over teams. That has not been the case behind a rebuit offensive line. While McCaffrey has been hurt for a lot of the season, the Cardinal ground attack has managed just four yards per carry vs. a schedule of opponents that have combined to allow 3.9. That is unusually ordinary. The passing attack has not been any better, and the saving grace for the Cardinal is your per-usual stout defense. The result is five of Stanford's seven opponents have scored 13 or fewer points. Arizona put up 47 points vs. Hawaii and 31 vs. Grambling, but against their five major opponents, they have struggled to an average of just 21.8 points per game. They have topped off at 28, and will be hard pressed to get to their average vs. Stanford. I don't see a lot of scoring or scoring opportunities, so go with the UNDER.
