Good value in the line for Stanford. Stanford won 40-12. This was one of the biggest line differences (8.5) of all the bowl games. The Predictor also said there would be a total of 56 total points scored in the game. The odds-makers set the total at 59 points. 52 total points were scored in the game, under 59.
