Pac-12 picks: Washington and USC roll, Utah and Colorado struggle and Oregon State looks vulnerable at SJSU

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:15:34 GMT

The Pac-12’s final season of existence (at least in its current form) ramps up Thursday and features games on four consecutive days.The conference is favored in eight of nine matchups against FBS opponents, including Utah’s critical duel against Florida. Eight victories, if combined with three wins over FCS foes, would make for a stellar opening weekend.But from a wagering standpoint, the outlook isn’t as bright. Pac-12 teams are precariously positioned as road favorites in four games against Group of Five foes and double-digit road favorites in two.Traditionally, the conference has not handled that role very well.Welcome to another season of the Hotline’s picks against the spread, where we aim for the high side of .500 and will select a winner in every Pac-12 game — even the ones we’d rather avoid.Last year, the Hotline was 47-40-1 against the spread (54 percent).Here we go.All picks against the spreadLines taken from BetMGM (via vegasinsider.com...
