Stanford vs. OREGON STATE +6.5

After sweeping the regular season series at 2-0 both straight up, and against the spread, it is hard not to go with Oregon State as they take on Stanford at the Staples Center tonight. The Beavers do enter riding a 3-game straight up, and against the spread losing streak, but there is a silver lining, as their last pair of games both came in the City of Angels at UCLA, and USC, so the familiarities of the city should be no issue this Wednesday night. Stanford didn't exactly close with a rush, as the Cardinal were no better than 2-5 straight up, and 2-4-1 against the spread in those 7 games, so we are a little reluctant to lay the points with Johnny Dawkins' team. We will look for Stanford to avoid the embarrassing season "hat trick" at the hands of Oregon State, but we don't expect this 40-minute session to be a cake-walk for the Tree.
Play on the Beavers plus the 6.5 points.
