Stanford at Oregon

This is a battle between undefeated Top 20 teams, which means both defenses will bring their A-games. Stanford has another powerhouse defense, allowing 23 total points in three games. That included a 17-3 beat-down of USC, allowing 3.1 yards per rush and 322 total yards. Stanford is #23 in the nation in yards allowed, tops in points surrendered (7.7 points per game). Stanford is on a 10-3 run UNDER the total, including 9-1 UNDER after a victory. The Cardinal is also 54-24-1 UNDER when following a spread loss. They face an Oregon defense that is #27 in the nation in yards allowed, giving up 20 points per contest. The Ducks' offense will need a better ground game than they showed in a 35-22 victory over San Jose State last week. Oregon stumbled along at 2.7 yards per carry as six running backs carried the ball. The Ducks are 10-3 UNDER the total after a victory, along with an 8-3 run UNDER in Pac 12 games. Stanford held Oregon to seven points last year and this shapes up as a defensive duel. Back the UNDER.
