Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns @ Stanford Cardinal Betting Trends: November 18, 2025

Why the Stanford Cardinal will win

• Stanford has won eight of its last nine games at Maples Pavilion.
• Louisiana has lost eight of its last 10 night games against non-Conference opponents.

Louisiana vs Stanford Prediction

I’ll just stay with Stanford here. The Cardinal are looking pretty solid so far with three wins, and this is a good opportunity to keep the run going. Stanford shot a solid 45.2 percent from the field versus Montana State, but the 3-point shooting could have been a bit better at 5-of-19 (26.3 percent). In any case, Stanford was strong up front with 34 rebounds and 46 points in the paint. That makes 77 or more points in all three games so far for the Cardinal. If they can keep it going Tuesday I don’t think the Cajuns will keep any kind of pace.
