Santa Clara vs Stanford Prediction 

Stanford comes into this matchup looking for their sixth win in a row to start the season, but they will be on the road for this game. The Cardinal really haven’t played anyone remotely good, but their defense has been very strong. Santa Clara is just 2-3 on the season, but they have played two tough opponents in Nevada and Arizona State. The Broncos are allowing over 77 points against per game this year, but I think their games against those two opponents will help them here. Take Santa Clara at home.
