Picking every Pac-12 game against the spread for Week 10.

No bye weeks in the Pac-12, which means we have six games on Saturday from the Pac-12.

On paper, a lot of these games could go either way. If you could pick one team that absolutely cover the spread this week, it would be USC, who is a near 20 point favorite over Arizona. Not only is USC hitting their stride, but Arizona has lost completely identity of their team.

Once you look past that late game, the rest of these games are pretty competitive, whether it’s some teams playing down and becoming inconsistent, or just some of the top teams in the conference squaring off.

UCLA has shown that they are capable of losing games they shouldn’t, and Washington seems to be a team that could sneak up on opponents. We’ll look to see if Washington State can bounce back vs Arizona State, with the weather heavily playing to their advantage this week.

But Arizona State has a lot to prove as well. Accused to stealing signals from the sideline, they have a lot to play for to shut up the critics and skeptics. A win will put them at 5-4, and a loss leaves them at 4-5, which would not be a good look for Todd Graham.

California looks to end a three-game skid, but they’ll need to get past the Oregon Ducks, who have a few extra days of rest after duking it out with the Sun Devils last Thursday in triple overtime.

With just four weeks left of Pac-12 play, this will be a huge week for teams to make a move towards the top, or see their title hopes slip and fall.
