College football pick, via Odds Shark computer: 35.9-30.0 Cardinal
Why the Stanford Cardinal can cover the spread
Stanford has won two games in a row since its loss to Oregon, after outlasting Notre Dame last week 38-36. The Cardinal fell down by a point with 30 seconds to go on a short Irish touchdown run but got a big completion from quarterback Kevin Hogan and a 15-yard Notre Dame penalty, setting up Conrad Ukropina's game-winning field goal on the final play of the game.
Stanford took an early 7-0 lead on the Irish, then allowed a 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Later, in the third quarter, the Cardinal took a 28-23 lead, then gave up a 62-yard Notre Dame touchdown run. But Hogan bailed the Stanford defense out, throwing four touchdown passes, along with Ukropina and his clutch kick.
At 10-2 overall, Stanford still clings to slim hopes of making the College Football Playoff.
