This is a 10* RED DRAGON on Stanford.

Many believe Stanford will be invited to the Final Four of College Football with a victory today and after already hammering the Trojans 41-31 on September 19th, snapping a two-game losing skid in the series, we believe the Cardinal will once again lay the law down in the PAC-12 Championship game and find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. The Trojans have never played in the PAC-12 Championship Game, when the program last won a league title back in 2008, most of the players on the current roster were in elementary or middle school and we don't think this bodes well for newly crowned head coach Clay Helton and company. For Stanford, a victory means it will almost assuredly be playing in the College Football Championship. USC is just happy to be here and is definitely playing with "house money" at this point of the season. The mind set between the two teams is completely different and it's a factor which we feel that the oddsmakers have not properly quantified into this line. We also think Stanford is the more complete team on both sides of the ball and note, USC is just 1-4 ATS this year off a win vs. a conference rival, while Stanford is 5-2 ATS vs. teams with winning records this season and 3-0 ATS its last three games played on a neutral field. Play on the CARDINAL.
