OUR PREDICTION: Stanford has won 15 of its past 16 games and has dominated this series, winning eight times in the past nine meetings. Heisman candidate Christian McCaffrey should have a field day against a Washington defense that allowed 308 rushing yards to Arizona last week in a narrow overtime victory. Quarterback Jake Browning has thrown 14 touchdown passes to just two interceptions this season but will face a Cardinal defense that ranks eighth nationally in scoring defense at 12 points per game.
