Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.
- The Tiger-Cats are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games in October.
- The Lions are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.
- The Lions are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games in October.
This is a play on the STANFORD CARDINAL+11.5 for our Friday Free Play. We played against Colorado in this spot last week and will go against the Buffaloes again here. They are coming off a three-point win at Arizona St. which snapped a two-game losing streak which came against USC and Oregon so they remain facing a team that is down. That being said, they are laying a big number playing their seventh straight game without a bye and now playing on short rest after playing late Saturday night last week. While the offense got its running game going against USC two weeks ago, it regressed against and Colorado has rushed for 70 yards or fewer in five of its six games. Defensively, the Buffaloes were gashed through the air once again and against a not so good quarterback. Stanford opened the season with a win at Hawaii but has since lost its last four games, the last three all coming at home. The Cardinal are coming off a bye week however and catch a tired team that is of course overvalued again. Two of the home losses came by one possession while the other two came against USC and Oregon so it has been a similar stretch for both teams as far as opposition goes. The passing game has struggled but as mentioned, the Colorado defense is bad against the pass, currently No. 129 in the country. Here, we play on road underdogs after two consecutive game where they committed no turnovers going up against an opponent after two consecutive game where they committed 1 or less turnovers. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. Play (123) Stanford Cardinal
Friday CFB Free play. My selection is on Stanford plus the points over Colorado at 10 pm et on Friday.
The Cardinal had their doors blown off by Oregon when we last saw them take the field two weeks ago. The bye week came at the right time as Stanford looks to right the ship with this high-profile matchup against Coach Prime's Colorado Buffaloes on Friday night in Boulder. Stanford's schedule to this point has been tough. Even a season-opening trip to Hawaii wasn't ideal (it did win that game by double-digits) and while it did lose to an FCS squad in September, that was against fifth-ranked Sacramento State. The Cardinal have also gone up against USC and Arizona in Pac-12 play, splitting those two games ATS. One thing we know about Colorado is that it has a tendency to let its opponents stick around. Last week, the Buffaloes won by three points at Arizona State. In fact, four of their six games this season have been decided by eight points or less. With the eyes of the nation firmly planted on this primetime game, I don't think Stanford gets embarrassed for a second straight contest. Take Stanford.
