Stanford is 12-1 SU and 10-3 ATS in its last 13 games against opponents with a winning record, per the OddsShark College Football Database.
On Thursday night, the Houston Cougars are a 28.5-point favorite at home against the Connecticut Huskies. Houston is 18-1 SU and 13-6 ATS over its last 19 games, but the one outright loss over that stretch came on the road against these Huskies last season as a 7.5-point road favorite.
The Cougars have won their four games this season by an average margin of victory of 34.3 points per game and should be fueled by revenge in this primetime matchup.
