Hey there Duck fans, we have a full slate of games on tap for the weekend. While Oregon’s game isn’t all that earth-shattering, there will be plenty of excitement in the conference of champions.

My record stands at 41-13 on the season. Let’s put it to another test this week with 6 games on tap.

ASU @ Utah

11:00 – Pac-12

Let’s get wild right out of the gate. If you haven’t been paying attention, Dilly has his team being just good enough to be a pesk for opposing teams. Just ask USC and Wazzu. How does Utah respond? That’s the million dollar question. I’m going with Utah because it’s not after dark and the Utes are at home. But it will be close.

Cal @ Oregon

2:30 – Pac-12

You already know where I’m at here. I’ve got Oregon putting up 70. Huge win on deck.

Washington @ USC

4:30 – ABC

Game of the week in the conference. This one will tell us a lot about both teams. If the Washington that played Oregon shows up, it’s over by halftime. If not, we’ll have a close one late in the second half. I’m guessing we see something in between which will be enough for a Husky win.

Stanford @ Wazzu

6:00 – Pac-12

Wazzu needs a win to get back on track. Nothing will help them with that like hosting Stanford. Wazzu wins big just before dark.

OSU @ Colorado

7:00 – ESPN

Oregon State is a really good football team. Colorado is not. The better team wins on Saturday. Question is does Deion get out while he can?

UCLA @ Zona

7:30 – FS1

Scratch what I said earlier, this low-key might be the game of the week in the conference. UCLA in Tucson after dark? Oh man, put on the pot of coffee for this one because I don’t think you’ll want to miss it. I gotta pick a winner so I’m going with the Cats who are as hot as anyone right now.
