Stanford is entering this game with a 3-5 record overall to start their college football season and they will be playing their 5th home game of the season as they are 2-2 in their home games this year. This will also be the 7th conference matchup on their conference schedule this season as they are 1-5. They lost against the UCLA Bruins in their last game on the road 38-13. Tanner McKee started that game at QB and he completed 13/29 passes for 115 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Ashton Daniels led the team in rushing with 51 yards on 5 carries. Benjamin Yurosek led the team in receiving with 32 yards and 1 TD on 5 receptions. David Bailey led the defense in that game with 8 solo tackles and 1 assisted tackles.

The current betting odds have Stanford listed as a 4.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Stanford has been really bad in their conference games this season but they have also had a very tough schedule taking on some of the best teams in the PAC-12 already. They have actually played a lot better at home though and they have put up a fight keeping their games against unranked opponents close. Wazzu hasn't been that great in their conference games this season either and they have been even worse in their road games. They have a losing record on the road and their only win came against a bad Wisconsin team near the beginning of the season who ended up firing their coach weeks after. Their other 2 road games were both losses in the conference and they lost both games by double digits. They kept things close at home last week against Utah but still lost that game with Utah playing their backup QB the whole night. Stanford is a sneaky good team at home and they will play with some pride here against a weaker team that they know they can beat. Stanford might even pull off the upset here at home so taking the points with them looks good. The best way to place a bet here is on Stanford to cover the spread in this game.

"On offense we are not doing anything well. We are playing just good enough to get beat." - Jake Dickert after his team’s loss against Utah in their last game.

 

 

"Yeah, we need more than that. … That was just punching the ball in. There's a lot of things that we need to clean up for momentum, and the biggest thing is really protection and connection between our quarterbacks and receivers." - David Shaw after his team’s loss against UCLA in their last game.
