OK I'll bite.
Oregon +17/USC
The line doesn't seem to be holding up as I thought. So I'll just hit it now. This week has
been going weirdly as I thought it might but sometimes I don't believe my own eyes. All
the home chalk has been having issues with the exception of WSU but they seem to have
flipped their play from somewhat marginal over the last 3 weeks to dominant at home as
many may have figured. Even the Beavers have been holding up vs. the trees however
they tend to do much better at home. I gave all of this weirdness some serious thought
this past week but it seemed to overload my senses. Too bad I didn't just accept it.
Thus the Ducks. After all that's happened today, maybe USC will have a little more than it can
easily deal with. It seems plausible because lately the Ducks seem to have awakened. That's
an uptick and you know how much I like those.

Has anyone else noticed that the Dawgs seem to let up a little when they travel?
(Like @Arizona or @Utah?) They can tough out a win but not with the panache
they show at home. Cal ain't no place to mess around like that. Sure the CAL
bears have a defense that resembles a sieve, but they can score a bunch to make
up for it, ESPECIALLY when they play big games like this at home. The 12th man
isn't so easy to defend.
A whole lotta points too since the opener.

Wonder what UW will be laying to USC on Sat. Am I crazy for thinking anything under 14 is auto play on Uw?
I had huskies pegged as being legit title threats next season. Peterson and staff effect on players is amazing. They are just strong on both sides of the ball.
Usc has been great past 5 weeks since giving Darnold the offense but uw is a step up in competition for them. I just think the huskies overall play and super loud stadium will wear trojans down in 2h.
Curious what you guys who know more about PAC 12 than I do think about the game.

I think you are on to something here bw. As an SC fan I was hoping for a big number but at 8 I'm tempted to bet UW. Problem for the Trojans is they need to play a perfect game but they have been turning the ball over on the road and to compound things the are penalty plagued-this will kill them in that crazy loud stadium. Just my thoughts.
