What a week for the conference. USC got caught napping. OSU metamorphed into last years team, UCLA lost but looked a lot better offensively, CAL won in a sleeper but lost some KEY players, Oregon curbstomped WSU and UW not only lost the game but their best player.
This weeks lines look very enticing. Much more so than last week.
Oregon St @ Utah -11: This line is not that tempting. I strongly lean to Utah here but would have really preferred to get it in the single digits.
Stanford +7.5 @ ND: I think that I am going to lay off this game. Have yet to see Gearharts injury status. Pritchard had a very nice game in Seattle. Looked very composed. I don't think that ND will be as accommodating as UW was on D however. Lean ND but only under a TD.
ASU +9.5 @ CAL: With Cals injuries (Best, Davis Gaurnero) and the now uncertain status at qb, I'll take the well rested devils here. May not win outright but I think it will be a very close game. 1.5 unit
WSU @ UCLA -17: Have to keep fading wsu as I have been in every game this year. UCLA showed some offense on Saturday with Bell coming back. They should have no problem covering this number. If any of you happened to watch WSU play vs Oregon last Saturday you saw a team that has quit on the year. Not good to have your secondary call out your dline in the paper either. 2 unit
UW @ Arizona -19: Arizona has to be feeling the potential here for a bowl game. They had a week off to get things together and prepare for the huskies. This husky squad is in dissarray. I suspect now that Locker is done that many on the team will sense that their head coach is a dead man walking. Will they get up for this game? I doubt it. I sure haven't sensed much enthusiasm from the UW defense in any of their games. I lean to AZ but am hesitant on that many points. The thing is that Fouch, the huskies backup qb is a pretty good passer and I think it is likely that the UW offense will put some points on the board. If this line climbs higher I just might be tempted to play the points.
Oregon +16.5 @ USC: Here is a line that I think is a bit off. I will take the points here. The ducks won't have any fear of this team and have the speed to keep pace. Of course the game comes down to the Oregon qb's ability to throw the ball and keep balanced. Masoli had very good outing in the scrimmage vs WSU last week. All he has to do is be OK. Otherwise I expect Oregon's run game to eat up chunks of time. Either something is wrong with Sanchez or the coaches have lost faith in him. Either way he was not trusted to throw the ball downfield until it was absolutely needed last week. He is a gamer though, I expect him to have a better day. USC has some injury issues that need to play out but biggest in my mind is Maaluaga. It will be a big deal if he does not play. I may add to this bet later in the week. 1 unit
