Week 11 in the Pac-12 begins tonight, when No. 9 Washington visits Stanford – in a game that could decide the Pac-12 north division.
Here are my week 11 picks…..
My record: straight up- 54-18, against the spread- 34-30
#11 USC (8-2) at Colorado (5-5) 1 p.m. (FOX) Line: USC -13.5
The Trojans took care of business last week, beating Arizona 49-35. USC is in firm control of the south division of the Pac-12 with just two games left on their schedule.
Colorado meanwhile, comes limping into this one, having lost five of their last seven games. The Buffs’ lost, 41-30, at Arizona State last week.
The Trojans are getting healthy at the right time of the season and should be to pull away from Colorado in the second half.
USC 38 Colorado 24
#19 Washington State (8-2) at Utah (5-4) 2:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks) Line: Washington State -1
One of the most intriguing game’s of the week in the Pac-12. Washington State beat Stanford, 24-21, at home last week. Although they dominated the game for the most part, they won by just three points. A loss this week could end the Cougars’ chance at a north division title.
Utah finally got over the hump, beating UCLA 48-17. The Utes out gained the Bruins, 506-249. After losing four straight games, the win against UCLA had to feel good.
This is a huge game for Washington State and they know that. Although Utah had a dominating win over the Josh Rosen less Bruins, they still have some problems to figure out.
Washington State 28 Utah 24
Arizona State (5-4) at UCLA (4-5) 6:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks) Line: UCLA -2.5
The Sun Devils bounced back after their loss to USC, beating Colorado, 41-30. Arizona State trailed for most of the game before outscoring Colorado 24-3 in the fourth quarter. ASU racked up 583 yards in the win.
UCLA without Josh Rosen, lost, 48-17, at Utah last week. The Bruins sit at 4-5 on the season and are in real danger of missing out on a bowl game. Jim Mora said on Tuesday that Josh Rosen practiced and should be available to play if he keeps progressing after suffering a concussion against Washington.
A lot of points will be scored in this game if Rosen plays. UCLA is 4-0 at home and I think it stays that way.
UCLA 42 Arizona State 38
Oregon State (1-8) at Arizona (6-3) 7:15 p.m. (ESPN2) Line: Arizona -23
Arizona lost in a shootout at USC last week, 49-35. The Wildcats surrendered 642 yards. A late Khalil Tate interception sealed the win for the Trojans.
The struggles of Oregon State continued at California, falling, 37-23.
This should be a get well game for the Wildcats. Khalil Tate will continue his impressive season.
Arizona 49 Oregon State 21
