California at #9 Oregon – 9:00 PM ET on ESPN
In last year’s match up, California busted out their unsportsmanlike methods to slow down Oregon, by faking injuries. That kept the game closer than it probably would have been. Despite the Ducks having the week off, they are closing the gap on Stanford. Meanwhile, the Golden Bears also had the week off to prepare for what I expect to be a severe pounding at Autzen Stadium. Unlike Oregon, Cal has not been impressive in the least bit, losing to the only worthy opponent they faced and barely beating Colorado. Thus year’s Golden Bears is a middle of the road team, and after Thursday’s thumping, I think they’re going to know it.
Prediction: Oregon 56, California 17 – Bet Now
Odds: Oregon: -24 – California: +24 – Over/Under: 65

Arizona @ Oregon State – 3:30 PM ET
The Wildcats just finished a brutal stretch of games that if they could have displayed a little better defense, may have come out of it a little better than 1-4. Now they will get a break as the travel to Reser Stadium in Corvallis to take on Oregon State. The Beavers are having a tough go of it this year, and are still looking for their first win after falling to Arizona State last weekend in Tempe. You have to applaud OS for its efforts, as they did get out to 13-0 start against ASU, but then things just fell apart. One thing is certain for the Beavers though, Mike Riley looks like he’s decided to go with freshman QB Sean Mannion played the whole game in Arizona, going 40-66 for 341 yards but with 4 INTs. The point? At least the QB carousal has come to a stop. Too bad it will have to wait until next season to find out where it stopped. Look for the Wildcats to sink their team into the Beavers in this one.
Prediction: Arizona 27, Oregon State 21 – Bet Now
Odds: Arizona: -2 – Oregon State: +2 – Over/Under: 58.5

#22 Arizona State @ Utah – 3:30 PM ET
Turnovers were the story in both of these teams outings last weekend, but each had a different ending. While the Sun Devils were able to rally back after falling behind 13-0 to Oregon State, Utah’s five giveaway’s to Washington was more than enough to do them in. The Utes were simply unable to move the ball against the Huskies defense, even after using two different quarterbacks in the game. The reality check that the Devils received from the Beavers should have been enough to jog their memories of falling prey to the usual let letdown of previous years. If that holds true when they travel to Utah, they should have no problem beating a not too impressive or worrisome team.
Prediction: Arizona State 45, Utah 16 – Bet Now
Odds: Arizona State: -4 – Utah: +4 – Over/Under: 48.5

Colorado @ #7 Stanford – 7:30 PM ET
Decimated by injuries in their secondary, the Buffalos were just 150 seconds from their first PAC 12 conference win, but couldn’t hold on. Now they must face a Stanford Cardinal team that made UCLA look like a Pop Warner football team. However, although their win over the Bruins was expected, Stanford did show that they are beatable, but their strength is that they don’t beat themselves. Nevertheless, in order to beat them, teams are going to have to bring their A-game and posses a QB that can match the talent Andrew Luck. Something I am afraid Colorado doesn’t have. This should be another easy win for the Cardinal.
Prediction: Stanford 49, Colorado 21 – Bet Now
Odds: Stanford: -29.5 – Colorado: +29.5 – Over/Under: 59

Washington State @ UCLA – 10:30 PM ET
Washington State made a big statement by beating Colorado in an exciting comeback last week, scoring two TD’s in the final two and a half minutes of the game. Even though it was just the team’s second road win under head coach Paul Wulf, it proved that the Cougars can score and have a dangerous passing attack. They will now get a very good chance to win two in a row when they travel to the Rose Bowl to take on the UCLA Bruins in what I think will be a close hard fought contest. What makes this more interesting is the fact that Wazzou may have the benefit of returning its starting quarterback, which should make the Burins worry just a little bit more. UCLA’s agony is likely to continue as I expect Washington State to surprise the college football world with a big upset on Saturday.
Prediction: Washington State 28, UCLA 21 – Bet Now
Odds: Washington State: -4 – UCLA: +4 – Over/Under: 62.5
