The Cardinal are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 games against the Beavers and Stanford was the favorite in each of those contests. The home team is 5-2 ATS in this series recently.<\/p>\n

Both Stanford and Oregon State are elite defensive teams but struggle on offense. Stanford is a 13 point favorite but there is no guarantee they even score that many points. I think the Beavers keep it close and have a shot at the road upset.<\/p>\n
