Stanford Cardinal vs Utah Utes prediction
The Utah Utes are getting the benefit of the doubt at home, where they’re 12-2 SU on the season. However, the Stanford Cardinal beat Utah last month as 2.5 point underdogs and have won the last 3 games overall against Utah. The Utah Utes have failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games and are 12-15 ATS on the season overall. Stanford is in rough shape at the moment, but it’s not like Utah is lighting the world on fire. I’ll take a stab with Stanford and the free buckets on the road.
