FWIW, the line is Stanford -7, which strikes me as about right. I'd probably go 28-21 or 28-24.

Opened at -7.5, now down to -6.5. Vegas clearly doesn't have a lot of faith in the Cardinal. Considering the value of home field, I'd guess they look at us as just slightly better.

I think it's more likely Vegas doesn't like that Stanford appears likely to be starting a true frosh QB who's never thrown a pass in college. I actually thought the line opened bigger than that. I swear a I saw -9.5 or -10.

Pedantry incoming: West is a redshirt frosh who threw passes in garbage time against Davis and Oregon State last season.

Jack West is not a true freshman quarterback (he redshirted last year). Also, he has attempted five passes in his career, completing one. In addition to handing off a bunch of times against UW, he appeared in mop-up duty last year against Davis and OSU. His career stats are 1/5 (20%) for 4 yards (0.8 ypa), 0 TD, 0 INT.

Hey, it's hard to keep track of which years are our gap years! Although knowing he went 1-5 last year might make Vegas more nervous than less.

The only guy on the field for UCLA that scares me is Chip Kelly.

Line now at -3.5. Apparently Mills out, too; West is listed as probable per the Vegas Insider web page.

Yikes!

Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Unable to post a prediction through the interface, so I'll say it here:

Stanford 31
UCLA 27

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
