this line is fishy

Seems like books are not scared for heavy public on an easy -6.5 line
although ML is a different story.
maybe Stan wins by 1-6 and goes under.Comment -
Really dont see how Washington can be compared to Seattle just because its at the same stadium. They were 3-3 last year. (One of those losses included a 0-41 thrashing by stanford)
Standford wins by about 14 - 21 I think due to their good pass rush/run defense and the fact Washingtons O-Line is depleted. People act like Vegas knows how every game will be played. Its simple, theres a good team playing a shit team. Standford have had 10 days rest and enough time to study this game and improve their own game even more i.e work on offensive production.Last edited by TheFlash; 09-26-12, 08:06 PM.Comment -

Took Stanford. I know they are the away team and playing at century link. I agree that the home team has a plus with that and do believe that the Huskies will step up their game. However Standford is still going to be dominating on offense. I think they will be able to control the game this way.
I know you can't really look at the last two meets between this team with Standford having a different QB in the game but they stomped the Huskies the last two times. They won't win by those huge margins but I still think they will come out well ahead.
I would consider betting the under as well.Comment -
I found Stanford still at -6.5 and locked it in immediately. Counting my money already. Washington is terrrrrrible.Comment -

You seem to be a Washington fan or a person trying to defend their bet hardcore.....wow. Yeah week 1 they had a terrible game against SJ State, but since haven't lost a game and beat a team in the top 15 that were number 1 at the time.
Look at the teams/injuries for the current week.Comment -
Vegas indirectly says Stanford scores 27. It is fair with the given spread and total. 47.5 is low.
This was 4.5/4 preseason GOY lines. So after key Wash injuries, Wash power rating down big, Wash perception in the toilet, Stanford power rating up big, and Stanford perception through the roof, this only opened 7 and then moved down to 6.5 with 75% on Stanford. Cardinal backers
Compared to a real adjustment like Nebraska -2 goy vs Wisc to -12.5Comment -
I will be attending the game and I'll run out on the field and tackle the Stanford QB if I have to....Comment -
I tend to agree, Canuck. Slight lean, but probably will pass.
Washington at home getting spotted a TD is decent.
They are always good for one upset, although it is usually USC.Comment -
What do you guys think of the 1st half lines? Under 24? Washington +3.5? Maybe a 6 point teaser? Under 30, Washington +9.5?Comment -

Sorry to bust your bubble but USC is not overrated, as they have a very strong team on both sides of the ball, and on special teams. Losing a game does make them overrated.Last edited by Urbanwildlife; 09-26-12, 09:24 PM.Comment -
No question Stanford is the better team....lets not argue that...Comment -
sure they have a strong team on both sides, but lack of depth already showed, not saying they arent top 10 good, but where they number 1 good? no, USC was very overhyped and it was based off them going hot late last year... nothing wrong with that.
but its funny with posters how everyone loves stanford cause two weeks ago when they did play USC everyone was saying undervalued the line was and usc should be a double digit favorite and all that goodness, and look what happenedComment -
Where did I say usc is overrated cause they got beat? O wait I didn't... usc was worthy of the number 1 ranking based off of what exactly? Never said usc isn't a great team but anyone who watched them against cuse then stanford could see they weren't number 1... top 10 yes but number 1 no, but I guess everyone just watches the hype machine tv for opinionsComment -
Lets not forget that over thinking these types of games can get you in trouble. So im just going to place my bet $100 on Standford at -6.5. A) Because the are a better team
B) They have an amazing pass rush/run D and the Washington O Line is goneski
C) Their offense has had 10 days to improve since knocking off USC....(who are a good team)Comment -
ebbearsfb1,
To refresh your memory, or you have selective memory ...
Clarification. You might not have said they were overrated because they were beaten, but as you can see, you did state they were overrated, which is the same fricking thing.

USC was ranked #1
USC lost
USC did not deserive to be ranked #1 in the first place
-USC is overrated
Define overrated cause I think that covers it. And San Jose State played Stanford better than them.
Nunes tomorrow: 12/31 104 yards 3 INT glComment -
stanford is on another planet from washington...
you have to give a massive HFA to washington (which might be reasonable) to back them.
i'm going stanford. not sure lean or play though. maybe just ML it.Comment -
Sunde91, you are a genius to have that all figured out like that. Wow, just truly amazing.

Looks like Dana HolgorsenComment -
Totally agree Canuck and exactly for the reasons you wrote.
Obv Stanford is a good team. And Washington is as bad as they looked at LSU, then the play will lose.
But this is a perfect set up spot for Stanford to lay down on the road where a lot of big teams have come and gone home with a loss.
Getting a touchdown is a real bonus.
If Stanford can match their USC game, then it will be a bad Husky night. I'm betting with you that that will not occur.Comment
