Stanford vs. Washington Prediction
I’m backing Stanford and the points here. Washington may be at home here, but Stanford is looking for revenge after Washington beat them in their own gym in the first meeting this season and the Cardinal so far in conference play have been the better offensive team all over the floor. I get it, Washington has top-tier names like Brooks and Wheeler, but Stanford looked really good against USC and I think the Cardinal do enough here with the points to potentially win this game outright. Give me Stanford and the points here.
