Stanford at Oregon

The 2006 version of the Cardinal won just one game, but it was a big one. They went up to Washington in November as an 18 point underdog, and walked out with a win 20-3. Last year they improved some, finishing the season with four in the win column. They again notched a monster win, 24-23 over high powered USC on the road as a 39 point underdog. It was one of the biggest upsets of all time in college football, if not the biggest. Two weeks later they went down to Arizona and pulled off another big upset beating the Wildcats 21-20 as a 13.5 point underdog. This year they are a much improved team with five wins already. Two of those wins were upsets, but they have yet to notch the massive upset this year. Will Oregon be it? I think it's a good possibility! The Ducks sealed their fate in the Pac-10 when they lost for the second time this season in the conference to California last week. They are 6-3 and Bowl eligible. This is a sandwich game for them as they face Arizona next week. This is the perfect spot for them to take a breather and that's when Stanford seems to strike unepectedly. Oregon is just 8-12 straight-up the past three seasons after a conference game. They are also 2-6 in November games over that span. Under Mike Bellotti, the Ducks are 9-14 off a road loss. I will take Stanford on the moneyline here.
