4-2: USC, Washington, Washington State, Oregon State, Utah, UCLA and Oregon

Strains from vegasinsider.com
Developments from oddsshark.com and Phil Steele’s School Soccer 2022
Idle: Oregon, UCLA and Arizona State
Cal at Colorado
Line: Cal -14.5 (complete: 48.5)
Remark: Each groups are coming off a bye with CU taking part in its first sport since coach Karl Dorrell’s dismissal. (Offensive coordinator Mike Sanford is the interim coach.) The house crew has gained the previous 5 matchups and lined the unfold thrice. The Bears often are among the best Below performs within the convention, however this collection has been Over in 5 of the final seven conferences. The Buffaloes are winless in opposition to the unfold this season. Cal gained 26-3 final 12 months in Berkeley, limiting the Buffs to 104 complete yards.
Arizona at Washington
Line: Washington -15.5 (complete: 71)
Remark: Two groups reeling from losses, with Washington’s defeat in Tempe coming as a two-touchdown favourite. The Huskies are 4-0 at residence this season — and lined the unfold every time — whereas Arizona hasn’t gained a convention highway sport for the reason that center of the 2019 season. The Over has been the best name in six of Washington’s final seven video games and in six of Arizona’s final 9. UW has lined the unfold in its previous 5 residence video games in opposition to the Wildcats, who haven’t gained outright in Seattle since 2007.
Stanford at Notre Dame
Line: Notre Dame -14.5 (complete: 52.5)
Remark: Powerful project for the Cardinal having to journey throughout the nation one week after the last-minute meltdown in opposition to Oregon State. Stanford hasn’t overwhelmed a significant faculty opponent in 53 weeks and has lined the unfold simply as soon as in its final 12 video games (in opposition to the Beavers on Saturday). The Irish have lined up to now three collection matchups, together with a 45-14 beatdown of the Cardinal on the finish of final season.
USC at Utah
Line: Utah -3.5 (complete: 60.5)
Remark: The sport of the week within the convention (5 p.m. on FOX) has title implications for each groups. The Utes have lined the unfold in 4 of the previous 5 matchups in opposition to USC in Salt Lake Metropolis. (The one time they didn’t? The COVID season, when it was USC’s third sport and Utah’s first.) The Over has been the best name in 5 of the previous seven conferences. USC’s final highway sport, at Oregon State, produced simply 31 factors — not near the overall (68) — however Utah’s protection is lower than its standard normal.
Washington State at Oregon State
Line: Oregon State -3.5 (complete: 52.5)
Remark: Developments lean closely towards the Cougars, who've gained eight in a row within the collection, with every victory by not less than 4 factors. Additionally, they've lined the unfold in 4 of the previous 5 conferences. No phrase but on the standing of Beavers quarterback Likelihood Nolan, who missed the sport at Stanford with a neck harm. (If he’s unavailable, Ben Gulbranson doubtless will make his second consecutive begin.) OSU has an eight-game residence profitable streak in opposition to the unfold. Given WSU’s stout protection, the Below seems to be engaging.
