• Time: 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN)

UPDATE 1 P.M. ET FRIDAY: UCLA inched from -16.5 to -17 Monday at BetMGM, with no line movement since. It's two-way play with a lean toward underdog Stanford, at 53% of tickets/58% of money on the spread.

The total dropped from 54.5 to 53 Tuesday, then quickly rebounded to 53.5. It's now 53.5 (Under -115), with 56% of tickets/55% of cash on the Under.

UPDATE 2:30 P.M. ET MONDAY: Stanford (2-4 SU/3-3 ATS) pulled the shocker of Week 7 and perhaps of the entire season. The Cardinal trailed Colorado 29-0 at halftime, but went on a 26-0 run in the second half to pull within 29-26.

Stanford eventually forced overtime, tying it at 36 on a final-seconds field goal. The Cardinal then went on to win 46-43 in double overtime as 13.5-point road 'dogs.

UCLA (4-2 SU/3-3 ATS) fell to Oregon State 36-24 getting 3.5 points on the road.

Oddsmakers aren't buying into Stanford's Week 7 heroics. Caesars opened UCLA -16.5 Sunday, briefly went to -17 this morning, then returned to -16.5.
