Utah faces challenges when playing away from home, and I believe Stanford can take advantage of this if they strengthen their defensive efforts. The Utes secured a significant victory against UCLA (90-44) on Thursday, holding a 9-6 ATS record for the season but struggling at 2-3 ATS in Pac 12 matchups. Despite a 19-point loss to Arizona as 12-point underdogs and a 12-point defeat to Arizona State, where they were a 6.5-point favorite, Utah remains susceptible on the road.
Stanford is showing momentum, winning three of their last four games, including victories against #4 Arizona, UCLA, and Oregon State. While they started the season 0-7 in conference play, the Cardinals are evidently improving, evident in their +49 scoring differential, outscoring opponents by 3.3 points per game.
Collectively, both Utah and Stanford allow an average of 145.5 points per game this season, which is 11.5 points less than the total set by bookmakers. Utah's games have an average over/under of 150.9 points this season, 5.1 points less than the posted total. Similarly, Stanford's games have an average over/under of 154.5 points this season, indicating 1.5 fewer points than the total posted. All indicators point towards the Under this afternoon.
Pick: Under 156 (-110)
🍀Best of luck!
