Stanford Looks to Extend Road Dominance over Rival Cougars

The Stanford Cardinal aim for a sixth straight win on Saturday, when they travel to Pullman for a Week 10 college football matchup with the Washington State Cougars at Martin Stadium. The Cardinal are coming off a narrow 15-14 win at Oregon State as 17-point chalk while the Cougars look to rebound from a 58-37 loss at Arizona in a contest pegged as a pick’em at the sportsbooks.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone UNDER in six of Stanford’s last seven games on the road against Washington State.
  • The total has gone UNDER in Washington State’s last eight games after a loss.
  • Stanford is 11-3 SU in its last 14 games on the road.

The Cardinal have effectively contained opposing offenses during their five-game SU win streak, surrendering fewer than 14 points per game over their past three contests, but have covered just twice during that stretch. While Stanford is a solid 12-2 SU in its past 14 road dates with conference rivals, it has failed to cover in its past three and is a meager 1-4-1 ATS in its past six overall on the road.

The Cougars surrendered their highest point total in three years in last week’s loss to the Wildcats, but recorded a 27-0 win over Colorado as 9-point home chalk two weeks ago, and have held opponents to seven or fewer points on five occasions during a torrid 10-1 SU run on home turf.

Washington State recorded a 42-16 win at Stanford as a 7.5-point road underdog last season. But the Cougars have struggled against the Cardinal on home turf, going 1-7 SU in their past eight home meetings, and 1-4 ATS in five dates as home underdogs.
