    We shall see. Oregon doesn't look nearly as good this season as they did last year. They're still really good but I think Stanford is a legit top 5 team and they obviously have best QB in the nation. It's hard to go against them at home.

    It would benefit my Sooners more if Stanford lost but kind of feel like Stanford may be a team of destiny.

    I think Stanford is better than Oregon. They are playing at home. They have the best QB in the nation and they have the better defense. Those are my reasons. I'm just going to roll with it win or lose.

    The fact that everyone seems to like Oregon on here makes me feel even better about my pick. I feel like Stanford is going to beat up the Ducks tomorrow.

    People will probably say Stanford is a "square" pick and Oregon is a "sharp". These people fail to realize that sometimes the underdog is the "square" play. Regardless, I don't really care about all that talk. I would rather have a "square" play that wins rather than a "sharp" play that loses.

    If you want a really safe pick dude, just play the over



    there's really no scenario in this game where the over is not covered (outside of maybe both teams having 3 turnovers each in the redzone)

    Ducks are on a roll and legit. Ive seen all there games. it took everything to go wrong to lsu to lose by only 13. If Oregon limits the turnovers they will roll. This is a great ml pick. Ducks win...

    Oregon was down by like 20 when LSU quit playing. Didn't Oregon score a "dressing" touchdown late to make it more respectable? There was like 10 seconds left in the game.

    LSU was like a heavyweight fighter feeling out their opponent in the first half and then they knocked them out in the second half.

    "Oregon will roll"? Good luck with that.

    I think Oregon is good but they are not nearly as good as you people give them credit for. They're not simply going to win easily on the road in this game.

    James and Barner were out with injury. De Thomas fumbled 2 times in a row, that was his first game as a true freshman. Cliff Harris was suspended and Oregon had 8 new defensive starters. The defense has gotten much better and everyone on offense is healthy. The o line has gotten better. So yes if Oregon wins the turnover battle they will roll...

    please show me some examples of top 3 teams getting "rolled" at home in recent history in the latter part of the season



    that's an outrageous statement

    Even If Oregon does win, it will be an up and down shootout where Oregon scores late and takes it like 49-46
    Oregon beat that ass last year, bro. As tough and strong as Stanford's D is, they do not have the speed to match up to Oregon's offense. I also don't see Oregon being able to stop the Stanford running game. I don't think Im going to lay the -3, but I might hit the over....these are 2 of my 3 favorite teams, so its hard to bet against either one of these cash cows.

    I believe this game Oregon will turn the over at least 2 times or more, just like they turned the ball over 4 times against LSU. Stanford offense will put up huge numbers against Oregon. Standford playing at home is a huge plus. I'm thinking Stanford win by at least 7 points. By the way, USC will beat Oregon this time around when the time comes.

    Neither team is anything special thus the -3.

    One thing to keep in mind is the Pac-10 will try to keep one team undefeated....

I actually think Stanford wins this by about 10 points (something like 41-31). They're playing at home and they will come out with a ferocious effort knowing that this is their only chance to even contend for a BCS title game. What am I missing here?
    You still wondering?
