Stanford Cardinal vs SMU Mustangs Betting Prediction
Now we have the Stanford Cardinal vs SMU Mustangs Betting Prediction for both teams.
When comparing both teams statistically and situationally, SMU holds nearly every key advantage. Stanford’s inability to win or cover on the road, coupled with SMU’s strong home-field performance and offensive versatility, makes this matchup tilt heavily toward the Mustangs. The Cardinal’s defense ranks near the bottom of the country in passing yards allowed, which sets up poorly against SMU’s dynamic air attack. Expect SMU to exploit Stanford’s secondary and maintain control throughout the game, while Stanford’s offense struggles to keep pace on the scoreboard. Betting-wise, SMU’s ATS skid might concern some, but this matchup presents a perfect opportunity for a rebound cover, especially with Stanford’s history of underperforming away from home.
Stanford Cardinal vs SMU Mustangs Betting Prediction: Stanford
The Stanford Cardinal enter this Week 7 matchup against the SMU Mustangs with plenty to prove, especially after a rocky stretch that’s seen them struggle to find consistency on both sides of the ball. Stanford’s offense has been one of the least efficient in the nation, ranking 111th in scoring with just 20.6 points per game and 126th in rushing yards at 96.2 per game. Their aerial attack has shown flashes of life at times, averaging 233.4 yards through the air, but it’s been hampered by inconsistency, sacks, and a lack of explosive plays when it matters most. The Cardinal’s defense hasn’t been much help either, often putting the offense in catch-up mode due to poor performances on the road — where they’re winless in their last eight games. Their inability to close games late, paired with a habit of letting the total go over in key matchups, points to a team still searching for rhythm and identity as the season deepens.

Stanford Cardinal vs SMU Mustangs Betting Prediction: SMU
SMU, on the other hand, looks to build on a strong start despite some ATS (against the spread) struggles of their own. The Mustangs have been dominant at home, winning 16 of their last 18 home games, and their offense continues to be a driving force behind their success. Averaging 34 points per game and ranking 24th nationally in passing yards, SMU’s offensive balance is built around a versatile passing game complemented by a capable, if inconsistent, rushing attack. Their defense, while occasionally leaky, has done enough to give them chances to control tempo — holding opponents to 24.8 points per game and performing solidly against the run. The Mustangs’ biggest concern has been covering spreads lately, going 0-7 ATS in their last seven games, but that statistic doesn’t fully reflect their control of games or their offensive firepower at Gerald J. Ford Stadium.
