Grand Canyon vs Stanford Prediction 

Stanford comes into this game looking to start the season with a 7-0 record, but they needed a huge comeback last time out against Santa Clara. The Cardinal have played very strong defense to start this season, as they have allowed 62.7 points per game, but the Grand Canyon offense is scoring just under 80 points per game. The Lopes have struggled on the defensive end of the court and I think that will be the difference here. Take Stanford to win.
