The Oregon Ducks are going to be favored for obvious reasons, and them blowing the doors off at home wouldn’t surprise anybody. However, the Stanford Cardinal are playing decent ball as of late as the offense has picked up, and they did beat Oregon back in January. I’ll take a shot with Stanford and the points.
