Pac-10 Predictions Week 8

Week 8 Pac-10 Predictions
(Last week Truebluebruin 3-1, 2-2 against the spread. Blueandgold 1-3, 2-2 against the spread)
(Overall Truebluebruin 28-17, 15-24-2 against the spread. Blueandgold 28-17, 17-21-3 against the spread)

Oregon (-5.5) @ Washington
(Truebluebruin) Washington has a chance to pull off a second stunning upset at home against the conference elite. It is clear that Washington is a much different team at home than they are on the road. It is clear that Oregon is a much different team without Masoli, as their offense 2 weeks ago only put up 1 touchdown against the Bruins, the other two coming on defense and special teams. Still, I feel like Oregon should have enough to pull out a win in a tough game for 3 quarters.
Oregon 35 Washington 21
(Blueandgold) Oregon looks like the best team in the PAC 10 both offensively and defensively. Washington is coming off a tough loss to ASU. However in this northwest rivalry I like the potent offense that Oregon has and think they will beat the spread on this game.
Oregon 31 Washington 17

UCLA @ Arizona (-8)
(Truebluebruin) UCLA’s offense woke up last week against Cal, with Prince throwing for over 300 yards. While the bruins were able to move the chains, they couldn’t punch the ball into the end zone, settling for too many field goals. They can’t afford to do that against an Arizona team that puts yards and points up in bunches, but uncharacteristically gives them up as well. This could be the highest scoring game the Bruins are in this season, but probably will not be able to keep pace.
Arizona 42 UCLA 30
(Blueandgold) Arizona comes in with being ranked in the BCS top 25 against a UCLA team that is very streaky (although they are currently on a 3 game losing streak). Arizona has a potent offense with a defense thy handed Stanford their first PAC 10 loss a few weeks ago. This is a must win for UCLA, but on the road, I'm going with Arizona.
Arizona 24 Ucla 13

Washington State @ Cal (-35)
(Truebluebruin) Let’s be honest here. Cal is going to win this game, the only question is by how much. Their offense came alive against a better than average UCLA defense, and WSU is going to look like a sieve compared to the last 3 defenses they’ve had to face. I think Cal has the weapons to cover the spread
Cal 56 WSU 10
(Blueandgold) California is coming off a big confidence win against in state rival Ucla. Washington state is stillthe doormatt of the PAC 10 so I don't see an upset. But I don't think Cal will beat the spread of 35.
Cal 35 Washington state 13

Oregon State @ USC (-20)
(Truebluebruin) USC has hit their stride, and return home for a revenge game against the beavers after their loss in Corvallis last year. OSU still has the same weapons that gave USC fits last year, but that should only be enough to stay within the spread, but not win the game.
USC 30 OSU 17
(Blueandgold) As much as I have bashed USC and picked them to lose big games in the PAC 10, they continue to win and yes with a true freshman. I still don't think this is USCs golden year but they should win this one at home against an up and down OSU team. I don't think they will be the 20 point spread though.
USC 28 OSU 17

Arizona State @ Stanford (-7.5)
(Truebluebruin) I bet Stanford is certainly glad to return to home after dropping a pair of conference games on the road. Stanford is a much better team at home, and still has a power running game that should dominate the game. Expect Stanford to get back into the win column.
Stanford 31 ASU 20
(Blueandgold) I still like Stanford and they didn't let me down last week so I'm gonna stuck with them, especially at home.
Stanford 27 ASU 17
