Stanford vs Miami (FL) Prediction

I’m on Stanford here. It feels a bit concerning, laying a sizeable number with a Stanford team that could be in for a letdown after the win over North Carolina and facing Miami in this one. That being said, Miami just looks like a team that’s quit on the season and is just counting down the days for the season to be over. There’s a strong possibility that it gets far worse before it gets any better for Miami. Give me the Cardinal here.
