Our official Stanford Cardinal vs. Alabama Crimson Tide pick is here at Cappers Info, as two great teams get set to square off on the college basketball odds. Join us for all of the great NCAA basketball predictions for what should be another great game on the college basketball schedule tonight!

Round 2 NIT Picks: #4 Stanford Cardinal @ #1 Alabama Crimson Tide

Round 2 Betting Lines
#4 Stanford Cardinal +4
#1 Alabama Crimson Tide -4
Over/Under 129

A very stingy Alabama defense just held the Northeastern Huskies down to just 43 points in the first round of the NIT, and now, there is a great opportunity to put forth another solid defensive effort against a team that, at times, has been offensively challenged. Of course, here’s our big time concern if we’re the Crimson Tide. This is a team that really hasn’t beaten much in the way of huge teams this year, as this was one of the most underwhelming schedules that the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee was looking at going into the week of the dance. Stanford at least has some big time wins in the Pac-12, including winning some games on the road. Unlike some of these other road teams that we saw over the course of the early portions of the second round of the NIT, there was plenty of time for the Cardinal to get from Palo Alto to Tuscaloosa and plenty of time to rest. The early start time could be problematic, but the fact that this one is on the road shouldn’t be. We think that F Dwight Powell and F Josh Huestis are good enough to dominate this game in the paint, and if that happens, the Crimson Tide are going to bow out of the NIT on Saturday afternoon.

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Tuesday night. The Stanford Cardinal and Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks will have it the first round of the NIT, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN2.

Atlantic 10 Tournament Finals Picks: #5 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks @ #4 Stanford Cardinal
Date: Tuesday, March 19th, 11:00 ET
Location: Maples Pavilion, Palo Alto, CA
Stephen F. Austin vs. Stanford Live TV: ESPN2

First Round NIT Betting Lines
#5 Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks +8.5
#4 Stanford Cardinal -8.5
Over/Under 126.5

Absolutely no respect for the Lumberjacks! Ok, we have to admit that we probably wouldn’t be thinking all that much of a 27-4 team that lost its conference tournament final by simply getting outrun, especially when its SOS was amongst the worst in the nation. However, Stephen F. Austin does have a win against Oklahoma to its credit for this year, and it has the ability to really slow down the game. It’s a long road trip to get out to Maples Pavilion, but we are really questioning whether Stanford is going to be able to score on this awesome half court defense that the Lumberjacks are going to bring to the table. The Cardinal are probably going to win this game at home, knowing that they did beat some of the fairly good teams in the Pac-12 in this building during the regular season. However, for a team that takes the air out of the basketball as well as Stephen F. Austin does, we have to think that it is at least going to keep this one remotely interesting from start to finish as long as the Cardinal don’t all of a sudden figure out how to get out and run.

Stephen F. Austin vs. Stanford Pick: Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks +8.5
First Round NIT Predictions: Stanford 61 – Stephen F. Austin 55

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Wednesday night. The California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN.

Date: Wednesday, March 6th, 11:00 ET
Location: Haas Pavilion, Berkeley, CA
Stanford vs. California Live TV: ESPN2

The Golden Bears and the Cardinal are both bubble battlers in the Pac-12, but one of these teams is in significantly better shape than the other. Stanford has two wins in its last six games, and it has failed every step of the way to get that big time win that would push it over the top. Cal meanwhile, has seven wins in a row, four of which have come against teams that either are certainly in the NCAA Tournament or likely will be in when push comes to shove. What’s really making the difference for the Golden Bears is their defense, and that’s what we are going to highlight in this one. They have held three of their last four foes to exactly 46 points, and no one has reached higher than 68 against them in 10 straight games. Even teams with great offenses like UCLA, Arizona, and Oregon have been held down in the 40s, 50s, and 60s, and there is no reason to think that Stanford is going to even get into the 60s in this one. If that turns out to be the case, we have to back the ‘under’. Asking these two rivals to get to 135 points is a heck of a challenge, especially knowing that the first clash of this year only made it to 128.

Stanford vs. California Pick: Under 134.5
Stanford vs. California Prediction: California 67 – Stanford 58

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Saturday night. The Stanford Cardinal and Washington Huskies will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on FOX Sports Net.

Free College Hoops Picks: Washington Huskies @ Stanford Cardinal
Date: Saturday, January 12th, 11:00 ET
Location: Maples Pavilion, Palo Alto, CA
Washington vs. Stanford Live TV: FOX Sports Net

Both the Huskies and the Cardinal are relatively comparable teams this year. Both are going to need big time years in the Pac-12 to get the job done to get into the dance, and it doesn’t really seem all that likely that either is going to be able to do so. Stanford had gotten off to a terrible start in conference play, losing at both USC and UCLA in a span of three days before coming home and beating the Washington State Cougars three days ago. Meanwhile, Washington has lived on the road of late, playing four games just since December 13th away from Seattle. The last two were both big time upsets over Wazzu and the Cal Golden Bears, and now, the team gets to come on the road to Maples Pavilion. G CJ Wilcox has been hot all year long, especially here in the Pac-12, where he has put up 18 and 19 points in his last two games. He’s got a great nose for the ball and is a complete player, and he is the reason that the Huskies are going to be able to come on the road and at least challenge in this one. This is a whole heck of a lot of points to be giving a team that has played great ball on the road this year.

Washington vs. Stanford Pick: Washington Huskies +7.5
Washington vs. Stanford Prediction: Washington 65 – Stanford 63

I’ve been studying the ‘total’ for the Rose Bowl odds for quite some time, and I’m ready to make my Rose Bowl picks for the clash between the Stanford Cardinal and the Wisconsin Badgers. The Wisconsin vs. Stanford kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. ET at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, CA, and I’m going to show you which way to bet on college football to make your CFB pick on for this great game.

2013 Rose Bowl
Wisconsin Badgers (8-5, 6-7 ATS) +5.5
Stanford Cardinal (11-2, 8-5 ATS) -5.5
Over/Under 47

It’s really difficult to think that I want to play an ‘over’ in a game where one team plays outstanding defense and has a suspect offense and the other has no passing game to work with whatsoever, but I still think that the Granddaddy of them All has the potential to have at least 50-55 points scored in it. Don’t let that 5-8 over/under record of Stanford jade you in this one. In spite of the fact that Wisky had a terrible offense for the mass majority of the season that really didn’t bust out once and for all until the last game of the year in the Big Ten Championship Game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers, ‘over’ bettors still went 8-4 on the campaign in Badgers games.

Head Coach Barry Alvarez knows what he is doing with the Badgers in spite of the fact that he hasn’t coached a game in quite some time. He knows that he is going to turn around and hand the ball to RB Montee Ball, RB James White, and RB Melvin Gordon at least 35-40 times between the three of them in the Rose Bowl, regardless of what the score is. This is a man that has a great knack for coaching up big, huge offensive linemen, and the four weeks to prepare for this game has been more than enough to get the big uglies motivated to take on a Stanford team that allows just a svelte 88.0 yards per game on the ground in the high octane Pac-12.

It’s not like the Stanford offense is totally inept. The offense has done a better job of finding its way into the end zone with QB Kevin Hogan calling the shots. RB Stepfan Taylor is doing more damage on the ground, and Hogan is keeping the chains moving with a 72.9 percent completion percentage. The Badgers have been known to give up some points at times this year, especially against mobile quarterbacks. Again, I really don’t think that this is going to be a ridiculous shootout, but it doesn’t really have to be one either. If both of these teams can find the end zone three times apiece, that should be more than enough to get it into the 50s and past the ‘total’.

The Wisconsin Badgers and the Stanford Cardinal are going to square off on the Rose Bowl odds and betting lines. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our Rose Bowl picks & predictions for football for what should be a great game on Tuesday.

Rose Bowl Picks: Wisconsin Badgers vs. Stanford Cardinal
Date: Tuesday, January 1st, 5:00 ET
Location: Rose Bowl Stadium, Pasadena, CA
Rose Bowl Betting Odds: Stanford -5.5
Wisconsin vs. Stanford Live TV: ESPN

It has been quite awhile since Barry Alvarez graced the field as the head coach of the Badgers, but with Bret Bielema gone for the Arkansas Razorbacks, Alvarez has one more crack at winning the Granddaddy of them All in the Rose Bowl. Alvarez inherits a team that is white hot at the moment, as Wisconsin really has played great ball down the stretch of the season. Many gave Wisky a tough time for a bad start to the year, but in the end, a loss to Oregon State, a loss at Nebraska, and a pair of overtime defeats to Ohio State and Penn State were nothing to be ashamed of. The only loss of any real note was the 16-13 home defeat against Michigan State, and that too, came in overtime. This has largely been a team of bad fortune more than anything else this year, but that bad fortune is nothing new for this team in this spot. The Badgers have been beaten in back to back Rose Bowls, and they are trying to avoid becoming the first team since 1977-1979 when the Michigan Wolverines lost three Rose Bowls in a row.

Bovada Sportsbook

The passing game remains abysmal for the Badgers, but RB Montee Ball and RB James White had themselves great seasons once again. Ball is the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history after finding the end zone 21 times this year, and he finished up with 1,727 rushing yards as well. White had 802 yards on just 119 carries, while RB Melvin Gordon also averaged a whopping 10.8 yards per carry to tally 570 yards on the campaign. These three are going to have their work cut out for them against a Stanford defense that has been out of this world this year by Pac-12 standards. The team held down the Oregon Ducks in Autzen Stadium and was able to manhandle the UCLA Bruins not just once, but twice on the way here to Pasadena. Head Coach David Shaw has his team in the Rose Bowl, which is something that neither QB Andrew Luck nor Head Coach Jim Harbaugh were able to do in their time on “The Farm.”

This still feels like a game that the Badgers are going to find some way to win to us. We think that this team has been vastly underrated all year long, and they finally busted out of their shells in the Big Ten Championship Game against the Nebraska Cornhuskers. It’s going to be tough sledding to run the football, just as it has been in the last two Rose Bowls, but the Stanford offense, unlike those of the Ducks and the Horned Frogs before it, cannot capitalize with huge plays. The losing streak in the Rose Bowl will come to a close, and Alvarez will be carried off the field by his players in arguably the most emotional win in Wisconsin’s football history.

Wisconsin vs. Stanford Pick: Wisconsin Badgers +5.5
Rose Bowl Score Prediction: Wisconsin 23 – Stanford 17

The time is here for more of our sparkling CBB picks, as we look at the schedule for basketball for Tuesday night. The NC State Wolfpack and Stanford Cardinal will have it in a nationally televised game, which can be seen on the college basketball TV schedule on ESPN2.

Free College Hoops Picks: Stanford Cardinal @ NC State Wolfpack
Date: Tuesday, December 18th, 9:00 ET
Location: PNC Arena, Raleigh, NC
Stanford vs. NC State Live TV: ESPN2

Stanford has gotten off to a respectable start to its season, but it really hasn’t played much of anything away from home as of yet. This is the first legitimate road game of the year, as there have only been a few neutral site games and clashes played in Palo Alto. There’s very little not to like about this team, but there is very little to actually like either. The backcourt is very suspect at times, but the big men, led by F Dwight Powell and F Josh Huestis are making a big difference, at least to this point in the season. Meanwhile, the Wolfpack have probably underachieved, losing three games already, but we do have to note that none of the losses, save perhaps the one to Oklahoma State, were worth clamoring about. The club has come out over the course of the last week and beaten the snot out of some lesser foes, and this is going to be another one of those situations. Stanford hosted these two last year and won 76-72. It’s time for some payback for NC State.

Stanford vs. NC State Pick: NC State Wolfpack -7
Stanford vs. NC State Prediction: NC State 80 – Stanford 71

Making sports betting picks is one of my specialties, and today, I’m making my Friday Football Tipster pick based upon the football trends and Week 14 college football odds for the UCLA Bruins vs. Stanford Cardinal game on Friday, November 30th at 8:00 p.m. ET.

UCLA Bruins (9-3, 7-5 ATS) +8.5
Stanford Cardinal (10-2, 8-4 ATS) -8.5
Over/Under 44.5

The second meeting of two teams is generally one where there is a bit more offense played, knowing that the two teams have felt each other out. Of course, the argument that the oddsmakers are using is that the Stanford defense has now figured out QB Brett Hundley after really shutting he and the Bruins down in the second half of last week’s game, and that’s why this ‘total’ has come down almost a touchdown in spite of the fact that last week’s game eked ‘over’ the ‘total’.

It just doesn’t make any sense to me whatsoever. Stanford has moved the ball quite a bit in these last four games under the direction of QB Kevin Hogan, and the club has averaged 26.3 points per game in its last three (we’ll take out the 48-0 win over a lowly Colorado outfit). Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, UCLA has been dropping points left and right on just about everyone. Hundley had a fantastic freshman campaign, and RB Johnathan Franklin remains as one of the best backs in the Pac-12 and the nation as a whole.

The Bruins have scored at least 36 points eight times this year, and in the other four games, it still scored at least 17. What the oddsmakers are telling us with this set of college football point spreads is that UCLA won’t get there this time around. That just seems absurd to me. Take the ‘over’, knowing that there should be at least 50 put up in this one for the second straight week.

UCLA @ Stanford Tips: Over 44.5

The UCLA Bruins and the Stanford Cardinal are going to square off in Week 14 of the college football betting campaign. Join us here at Cappers Info, as we make our predictions for football for what should be a great game on Friday.

Week 14 College Football Picks: UCLA Bruins @ Stanford Cardinal
Date: Friday, November 30th, 8:00 ET
Location: Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, CA
CFB Betting Odds: Stanford -8.5
UCLA vs. Stanford Live TV: FOX

We rarely get the chance to see two teams play against each other over the course of the same season, and never before, have we seen two teams play within just six days in a major conference in such a big spot like this one. There are millions of dollars on the line here on “The Farm,” as the winner of the Pac-12 Championship Game will go to the Rose Bowl, while the loser will go to the Alamo Bowl in all likelihood. Though Stanford was the team that won this game last week on the road, we have to think that the Bruins are going to put forth a much more inspired effort. First off, they have to be tired of getting raked by this team, having been beaten by at least 18 in three straight battles and having gone 0-4 SU and ATS in the last four clashes overall. But more importantly, this is a game with some substance to it. Last week’s game was merely a decision as to whether the team was playing against the Cardinal or the Oregon Ducks. Go with a young and learning QB Brett Hundley to at least keep this one close. Don’t underestimate the value of the Bruins having played in this conference title game last year either.

UCLA @ Stanford Pick: UCLA Bruins +8.5
UCLA @ Stanford Score Prediction: Stanford 28 – UCLA 24

Of all of the games on the Saturday 11/24 college football betting schedule, one of my favorite is the clash between the Stanford Cardinal and the UCLA Bruins. Join me for my Week 13 tips for this 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on FOX.

Stanford Cardinal (9-2, 7-4 ATS) -3
UCLA Bruins (9-2, 7-4 ATS) +3
Over/Under 52.5

It seems to be a bit ironic that the most important game out of the Pac-12 of the entire season isn’t a game involving either the Oregon Ducks or the USC Trojans. Instead, it’s a Stanford team that has everything on the line to get to the Rose Bowl going on the road against a UCLA team that has already shocked the world enough to win the Pac-12 South and establish perhaps a newly found level of dominance in the division.

Needless to say, there is a whole heck of a lot on the line in this one. Stanford is trying to keep its Rose Bowl hopes and BCS bowl hopes alive, two things that will only happen with a win in this game (or perhaps an Oregon loss). The Bruins know that they could still get a home game in the Pac-12 Championship Game if this one is won, and though it isn’t likely, they’re going to be playing their hearts out.

Here’s what I see in this college football matchup, though. I see a Stanford team that held Oregon to 14 points, held Cal to three, shut out Colorado, had Notre Dame down to just 13 in regulation, and kept USC to just 14. I see a UCLA team that held Arizona to 10, USC to a very respectable 28, and Utah to 14. And, I see a series that has had eight ‘under’ games since 2002 in 10 tries. As a result, I see a ‘total’ that probably should be in the 40s, not in the 50s.

Stanford @ UCLA Tips: Under 51.5

The 2012 college football season is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the CFB odds for the week. Join us on Saturday night, as we make our Stanford Cardinal @ Oregon Ducks free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Week 12 College Football Picks: Stanford Cardinal @ Oregon Ducks
Date: Saturday, November 17th, 8:00 ET
Location: Autzen Stadium, Eugene, OR
CFB Betting Odds: Oregon -20.5
Stanford @ Oregon Live TV: ABC

One of the best offenses that the country has to offer is going to take on arguably the best defense in the Pac-12, and the results should be interesting, to say the least. No one is really giving the Cardinal a chance to win this game, unlike what was the case last weekend in Tuscaloosa with the Texas A&M Aggies going against the Alabama Crimson Tide, but we think that there is a real chance that this game is closer than the college football expert picks suggest. QB Kevin Hogan is almost certainly the better of the two quarterbacks that Head Coach David Shaw could deploy, and RB Stepfan Taylor still could go off for a huge game at a moment’s notice. The Cardinal are legitimate, and they have almost every bit as much motivation right now as the Ducks do, as their BCS hopes probably rest in the wings as well. Even a solid loss might still draw the attention of the Rose Bowl should Oregon move onto the BCS National Championship Game, and we think that that is going to be the way that this plays out for the time being. Take the points.

Stanford @ Oregon Pick: Stanford +20.5
Stanford @ Oregon Score Prediction: Oregon 31 – Stanford 27

College football betting fans are running to their online sportsbooks to place their Oregon State Beavers vs. Stanford bets and predictions, and here at Cappers Info, we are making our Saturday football picks for this encounter.

Week 11 College Football Picks: Oregon State Beavers @ Stanford Cardinal
Date: Saturday, November 10th, 3:00 ET
Location: Stanford Stadium, Palo Alto, CA
CFB Betting Odds: Stanford -4.5
Oregon State vs. Stanford Live TV: FOX

An upset really could be in the cards on Saturday afternoon when Stanford and Oregon State have at it. These two teams are both on their way to greatness this year in the Pac-12, but only one will legitimately have any chance whatsoever of getting to the Rose Bowl or claiming a spot in the Fiesta Bowl. Stanford has looked mortal at times this year, and its offense is going to be the real culprit. As long as QB Cody Vaz hangs onto the football for the Beavs, they should be able to use their gritty defense to frustrate the heck out of the Cardinal offense. The Beavers have done everything right this year, and they still control their own destiny to get to the Rose Bowl, though the road definitely looks like it is incredibly daunting from here. Head Coach Mike Riley will get his boys up for this game, and this will be another one of these where OSU defies all logic and pulls off the upset to keep this magical season going.

Oregon State @ Stanford Pick: Oregon State Beavers +4.5
Oregon State @ Stanford Score Prediction: Oregon State 27 – Stanford 20
