The Stanford Cardinal have managed to escape their first three games with two victories, but they’ve been in dog fights and the offense feels stuck in mud at times. The Valparaiso Crusaders have shown great offensive depth through two games, despite losing both contests. Stanford has also failed to cover its last six games. Stanford should win this game, but the Valparaiso Crusaders have some scorers who can keep this thing close. Give me the points.
