1. Oregon covers

Oregon has played two close games in the past two weeks playing Washington and Washington State. Winning both of those games by a combined six points, the Ducks will look to put away USC early on the road. The spread for this game has been set at 4.5 in favor of the Ducks, although the Ducks have shown they are the superior football team here.

The newly minted No. 7 ranked team in the country has a ton to prove and they have the perfect opportunity late Saturday night. One of the very last games on FOX, the Ducks have an opportunity to show voters they belong in the top-four.

Oregon has much more to play for than just the Pac-12 championship. Even with a very talented USC roster, Oregon has played well enough to be able to handle USC on the road with ease. Expect the Ducks to be on a mission and show up on the road in a big-time game.
