Stanford vs Virginia Prediction

Stanford has fallen off over the years and hasn’t been that inspiring through three games. Stanford hasn’t done much offensively and is 103rd in pass defense. Stanford is no longer the well coached, toughed team that bullies in the trenches. Virginia is quietly a contender in the ACC with an explosive offense and an underrated defense. Virginia has also covered 8 of its last 9 games as a double-digit favorite. Potential look ahead spot for Virginia, with Florida State on deck next week. I still want little to do with Stanford. Give me Virginia in a home blowout.
