The emotional hedge betting against Stanford only works when the Cardinal is the favorite, assuming bets are with the points. For example, you could take SC and give the points and get a double-whammy: SC winning by fewer than 10 points. It's only in the case of betting against a favored Stanford that you're guaranteed some monetary solace. And you have the double-whammy upside. (Stanford winning by less than the spread).
P.S. Betting SC on "the money line" probably wouldn't be very rewarding this week.
I don't bet money; just talking about the cardboard picks.

You may not bet anything of value but I have had a handle of Jack and a case of Fat Tire in every U$ game for the last 7 years. Oh and for my homeland, I have about $300 of booze bet on every game. The key here is when I go to those locales, win or lose, I get to partake in either my winnings or losses either way.

THAT is the best way to hedge your bets :)
