All of those line discrepancies have created opportunities for myself, as I see value.
Next, Stanford struggled mightly vs San Jose St. I predicted B4 the season that w/o Luck, and Harbaugh this team would lose most of their competitive edge. Stanford has unreal standards academically, which removes the chance of getting a consistent amount of top recruits. Without the toughness of Harbaugh, and talent of Luck, this team can be faded. Add the fat that this is a revenge game for Duke, and we have a play.
The plays
Cincy -3.5
Syr +26
Zona +12
Neb -4.5
Duke +15.5
Leans
NW +3
