    So I am checking the football lines for this weekend and I see UW Huskies are GETTING 7 points against Stanford.
    On place has them +9
    Which means UW is a pretty big underdog to Stanford.
    UW is playing on the road.

    So someone please talk me out of what seems very obvious to me. Because I am about to bet the largest wager of my life on this game.

    Something seems to good to be true...

    What am I missing here.

    Which means it usually is.

    If I was going to bet on the game I would take UW and the points. Stanford's two wins are against pretty bad teams. Granted they put up a lot of points, but Washington St and San Jose U are not in the same caliber obviously as LSU & USC.

    I wonder if UW can sustain the momentum. They may be due for a letdown.

    Maybe so, which is why I had to take a step back. I was just shocked to see UW such big underdogs to Stanford.
    Vegas which doesnt care about rankings, etc always seems to know better then most. For a line to be that big they must know something

    That's a good point about momentum. That and it's their first road game after 3 at home.

    If I was betting, I would still take the Huskies and the points. I would wager a normal amount whatever that might be for the bettor.

    This could be their let down game, Stanford is on the cusp of having a decent team.

    They really haven't played anyone other than LSU.

    yeah plus harbaugh would love to beat the team that beat SC. sark will need his boys to come down a bit. if they win, they'll do it ugly i'd suppose.
