College Football Pick Stanford at Oregon 10-2-10

Stanford Cardinals at Oregon Ducks (-7)

Saturday October 2, 2010 8:00 PM EST

This game could be the best of the weekend. Both Pac-10 teams come into this game with a 4-0 record and both are in the top 15 in points scored and points against. Oregon’s closest game was last week where they only beat Arizona State by 11. Stanford’s closest game was also last week at Notre Dame where they only won by 23 points

These two teams have been dominant on both sides of the football. Both teams also have Heisman contenders on their teams. For Stanford, Junior QB Andrew Luck has thrown for 912 yards with 11 TDs and 2 Ints. He has also added 100+ rushing yards with another TD. For the Ducks, Sophomore RB LaMichael James has 455 yards on the ground with 4 TDs. He is averaging 7.8 yards per carry. The X-factor in this game is Sophomore QB Darron Thomas for the Ducks. Thomas has looked very good this season thrwoing for 822 yards with 10 TDs and 3 Ints. The Ducks bring into this game the top ranked scoring offense in the nation.

This game will be close and more than likely come down to the wire. As a football pick, both teams come in hot. One team is not hotter than the other but it will come down to whose defense can make more stops. I think a TD is a tough line to cover for two 4-0 Pac-10 teams regardless the venue. Stanford will give the Ducks all they can handle.
