Bounce back week
Oregon-4
Stanford +13.5
Cal +13.5
UCLA -10
Oregon -4 hosting WSU 12:30 pacific
Washington State got the respect they deserved for winning the pac-10 last year finally after beating Colorado in a blowout. Oregon got the respect for piling on Michigan long enough to win s/u. Oregon plays their best football in the 1st half and WSU plays their best in the 2nd half. Oregon has too much fire power on offense and wont letdown at home. Washington State has got to prove themselves on the road this week and I think WSU is a great team, but not going to get it done at Autzen. Play DUCKS -4
Stanford +13.5 at Washington 12:30 pacific
Trent Edwards is getting more attention now that he went to a hostile environment at BYU last week and won the game. This kid is a good ball player and has this team believing in itself for the first time under Buddy Teevens. These two teams haven?t played each other in a while and since Stanford has a lot of freshman they rely on the unfamiliarity is an advantage to Stanford. Washington struggled and was tied with Indiana after one half I believe and lost to Ohio State and beat Idaho. They seem like to me that they are a good team but not a great team. They are at home in this one and that should be enough to win and since Stanford is a young squad Washington wins but doesn?t cover. I like Stanford keeping this one nail bitter close for UW? play Stanford
Cal-Berkeley +13.5 home to USC 3:30 pacific FSN
Cal should have beat USC last year and that says a lot about the coaching staff employed at Cal. Cal is very dangerous at Memorial Stadium and USC better watch themselves as Cal would like nothing more to than to knock off the number 3 team in the nation at their crib. USC must pressure Aaron Rogers, who will see a whole new kind off pressure something he never saw at Chico. We have the two best coaches in the pac-10 here going head to head and will be a great football game to enjoy. Play Cal +13.5
UCLA -10 hosting SDSU 7:00 pacific Fox Sports West 2
San Diego State and head coach Tom ?AIR? Craft had their passing attack grounded for awhile vs SAMFORD last week, the Aztec offense is not doing what Craft would like, but that is expected when you lose the 1-2 WR punch that they had going last year. SDSU gave Ohio State more than a game in Columbus, they could have won. UCLA on the other hand is back page news in this city. The folks out here in Tinsel Town think UCLA sucks. Did they really think they would beat Oklahoma? UCLA and Karl Dorrell are going in the right direction and the offesnse may click with an Aztec defense that is nowhere near as talented as what UCLA saw last week. Craig Bragg will return a punt for a t-d and UCLA will win pretty easily. PLAY UCLA -10
ASU +6 at Ore St 7:00 pacific FSN
ASU has owned Ore St in past match ups and beat them last year in a game in which both defenses dominated. The key to beating Ore St as shown by Fresno was to get a ton of pressure on Derek Anderson. OSU will run run run run and the throw to Ozzie Newsome? that?s a fact? ASU is 21st in the country in rush defense and will get #1 corner RJ Oliver and #1 wideout Darryl Lightfoot who is there only legit wideout. Of course they were both supposed to play last week and Oliver didn?t even make the flight, so who knows if they will play. This is an early must win game for both teams, it wont get any easier for ASU as they host USC next week and then host Oregon the following week.
NO PLAY
Arizona +15 hosting TCU 7:00 pacific
The slew of late games. TCU needs to cutback significantly on making mistakes on offense. This team only put up 28 vs Vandy last week and I do think Arizona?s defense is better than Vanderbilts. Arizona has had some success vs the 4-2-5 defense, but that was last year and this team has more problems than the California Recall. I see this as a 24-10 game for TCU.. so back off this one
