College Football Play of the Day: Stanford

The Stanford Cardinal and Andrew Luck travel across the country to take on a Duke team that doesn't pose much of a threat.

Duke is getting 20 points at home and usually that would be sign to jump on that home team.  Not in this case. 

The Cardinal are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games, and that is just one reason to take Stanford.  Duke is coming off a home loss to Richmond and Stanford is looking to blow out anyone that gets in their way.

Take Stanford for an easy win.

One Day at the Bank of the West Classic

After 9 days of scorching hot temperatues at the men's  Atlanta Tennis Championships, it was off to one day at the Bank of the West Classic for some women's tennis action.  Let's just say the temps were more bearable.

Highs of 80 and lows in the 50's call for you to bring a jacket or sweatshirt for the night matches. 

Pictures from a full day of tennis.

College Bowl Play of the Day: Orange Bowl

The Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech

Am Orange Bowl featuring two of the hottest teams in college football.  Virginia Tech went 11-0 straight up and 9-2 against the spread after losing to Boise State and James Madison to open the year.

Stanford, meanwhile, blew out the majority of its opponents and led Oregon 21-3 after the first quarter before losing 52-31 in the end.

Stanford is giving VA Tech 3.5 pts, but I still like the Cardinal.

Stanford features the best quarterback in college football and a sure fire NFL starter in Andrew Luck.  The Hokies are stout on defense, one of the best teams at stopping opponents on 3rd down.  3rd downs will be crucial in this game. 

The Cardinal are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  Look for them to be 5-0-1 after tonight's game.  Go with Stanford.

Saturday's College Football Plays of the Day

First up today is Ohio State.

The annual Ohio St./Michigan game.  Ohio St. is favored by 16.5 and they are at home.  This isn't even going to be a game.  Ohio St. turns it on, and in a big way, they win by 3+ touchdowns.

A second game to play today is Stanford,

The Stanford Cardinal is at home and favored by 13 over Oregon St.  Stanford is 8-3-1 in their last twelve when favored by more than 10 pts.  They also are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games after accumulating more than 200 yards rushing in their previous game.

This will be a big win for Stanford.  Good luck today.
