Going 14-2 against the spread the past three weeks is officially a “roll,” according to this book I bought in Vegas. But, being the listed line is for your entertainment purposes only, that’s all it is. That and $1 will get you a cup of coffee these days. A bad cup of coffee. All games Saturday except those listed. UCLA at Arizona (UA by 4), tonight: The Bruins are the better team. The game is in Tucson and UA has a new coach. Go with emotion. Arizona, 35-17. Oregon at Colorado (Oregon by 31): I would spit on your measly 31 points, but the spittle might cause an injury to a Duck offensive player. Oregon, 49-14. Utah at California (Cal by 3): OK, I’m jumping on the Ute bandwagon, There’s plenty of room. Utah, 24-21. USC at Notre Dame (Notre Dame by 8.5): Got to be in the Pac-12’s corner here. USC, 35-24. Washington at Stanford (Stanford by 21): The Cardinal are favored by the same amount as last week. Really? Stanford, 35-21. Oregon State vs. Washington State at CenturyLink Field (WSU by 3): A big game for the Cougars and everyone connected to the football program. WSU, 42-21. Last week: 5-1 overall, 5-1 vs. spread; Season: 44-9 overall, 31-15 vs. spread.
