NCAAF Picks: UCLA vs Stanford College Football Predictions & Odds: Pac-10 rivals UCLA and Stanford are set to hook up in a conference clash this Saturday in Stanford, California. The meeting will be the third league game of the season for the 3-1 Cardinal; it will be UCLA's first Pac-10 game this year. Kickoff is set for 3:30pm ET at Stanford Stadium (ABC). NCAAF Picks at Bodog.com have the Bruins listed as a +5 against the spread road dog.

The Bruins enter conference play with a 3-0 record and fresh legs after sitting out last weekend. UCLA last played on September 19th when they beat Kansas State 23-9 at the Rose Bowl. Rick Neuheisel's defense limited the Wildcats to 268 total yards and three third down conversions in the win. K-State managed 69 rush yard (1.9 yards per carry) against a front seven that is giving up an average of just 74.3 yards per contest.

The Bruins offense, under the guidance of quarterback Kevin Craft, amassed 359 yards and 16 first downs in 25:57. Craft, who filled in for injured starter Kevin Prince (will not return until October 10th game against Oregon - broken jaw), completed 13-of-24 passes for 186 yards in the win. The senior passer had his best moment late in the fourth quarter when he hooked up with Terrence Austin for a 51 yard touchdown strike. Freshman running back Jonathan Franklin led the Bruins ground attack with a 23 carry, 119 yard, one touchdown performance.

Stanford improved to 3-1 last weekend and 2-0 in Pac-10 play by thrashing Washington 34-14 at Stanford Stadium. The Cardinal dominated the then No. 24 Huskies, holding them to 291 total yards and 16 first downs. Stanford's defense also brought quarterback Jake Locker back to earth as he completed just 16-of-31 passes for 191 yards, a touchdown, and two interceptions. 

Jim Harbaugh's offense gashed the Huskies with a rushing attack that racked up 321 yards (6.4 yards per carry). Quarterback Andrew Luck completed 7-of-14 passes for 103 yards, but he ran eight times for 59 yards in a touchdown. Running back Toby Gerhart brought his season rush total to 516 yards after stampeding Washington's defense for 200 yards in 27 carries.
