Stanford at ASU tonight – who ya got?

[Tony (admin)]

We are still undefeated in pac-12 play so far.  🙂 It helps our cause if ASU loses and honestly, I hope they lose every game in every sport they have. At the first of the season Stanford looked like they were going to suck, and then they beat Oregon. Which team shows up?

I think ASU will win with about a 1% confidence level.  I’m sort of perplexed as to why Stanford would be double-digit dogs after just beating Oregon, but the casinos are smarter than me so whatever.  And, yes, the whole ASU program can suck it.

A lot of Arizona money gets bet in vegas. That factors in. The line is merely the point spread the casinos want 50% bets on each side.

I’m just surprised that that much $$ is coming in for ASU.  I sort of expected that line to swing towards Stanford quite a bit but it didn’t happen.  I guess bettors were way more impressed with ASU’s win over UCLA than they were with Stanford’s win over the Ducks.

I got Stanford by a touchdown.

I’m with Eagle, Stanford in a close one.

Stanford was lucky to defeat Oregon….Oregon was in full control of it late before everything that had to happen for Stanford remarkably occurred.

I’d obviously be super pleased if that repeated itself tonight, but ASU’s the clear favorite for a reason….They unequivocally beat themselves against the zoobs & that’s their only blemish to date….They might just be Top-10 ranked, otherwise.

I’m all for ASU losing their next two games in spectacular fashion, but we might just have to settle for 1-1 after they soundly beat SU tonight.

Stanford has also consistently beaten Oregon when they achieve a high ranking. Luck has nothing to do with it. 

[D T]

They weren’t lucky to win that game? Did you even watch it?

[EagleMountainUte]

I didn’t but Stanford got screwed once. Thanks @centralcoastute. Oregon threw the ball with a lead and blew it. 

[D T]

My point exactly….Oregon beat themselves, thus enabling Stanford to get lucky.

[EagleMountainUte]

How different would the game have been at 21-0?  It’s like when Clay fumbles at the one. Stanford still won and consistently does so against Oregon when they are ranked. 

[D T]

You didn’t even watch the game….How are you even qualified to debate whether Stanford got lucky?

Oregon flat blew it w/self-inflicted mistakes when they had the game well in-hand late….Period, end of story.

[Central Coast Ute]

Oregon had to use the refs calling a play dead that wasn’t dead on Stanford to force a field goal instead of a touchdown. Stanford should have been up 21-0 at one point. Both sides can complain about the game but if you want to say if and but, Stanford still wins.

[D T]

Oregon was in full command of the game late before a series of flukes in Stanford’s favor took place.

I don’t get which game you people were watching….Oregon literally snatched defeat from the jaws of victory when it should’ve been as simple as running out the clock….How many self-inflicted penalties to extend Stanford’s final drive occurred? That’s just one part of it.

Oregon/Stanford play 10 times & Oregon wins 9 of those.

Stanford can win tonight, but it’s going to require ASU making a slew of mistakes for it to happen.
