YOUR PAC-12 PICKS, WEEK 4 (Four; for the Gospel Makers, see below). Spring Tuition Comes Early This Year!

1. WAZOO (-3.5) @ U$C. Betting against the Rubbers in the Coliseum is never advisable w/o a bunch of REALLY good reasons, and this wk is no exception. Hey, I like the undefeated Cougs -- who doesn't like the undefeated anybodys? -- but c'mon: (a) they haven't played anyone of restaurant respectability yet and, more to the pt., (b) they're still Wazoo, meaning they can "Coug" this game (as C. Shreck likes to say) even if leading by 10 deep in the 3rd...which is pretty much what I expect to happen here. $C has too much talent *not* to wake up and remember where the end zone is one of these days, and my sense is that Sat. is the day, air raid be damned. Take Troy to beat that 3 1/2, and bet a considerable chunk.


2. ZONA (-6) @ OSU. These two 1 'n' 2 Wonders are lucky to be playing each other in Week 4 b/c, well, Somebody Has to Win -- and look competent afterwards at 2-2. Which may well amount to a Delusion of Grandeur for the winner (especially if they're wearing orange), but it'll be nice to enjoy for a wk regardless. Brass tacks: the Zorros have better athletes and a potential star in QB Tate, who may well put up 300-350 against a Punkin secondary that has had enough bombs dropped on it this year to qualify as the Dresden of the PAC-12. Take Zona to beat that 6 in Corn Valley, although it won't be decided til the 4th.

3. #7 SNODFART (-1.5) @ #20 ORYGUN. Marquee Game o' the Week. These two 3-0 records are disguising either one or two overachievers and we're abt to find out which. If Love plays again -- and to form -- after sitting out the Davis game, then the Trees could prove themselves legit big-time, as Costello and the air game already have -- and they don't need much support to post enough for a W, given the v. strong Tree D shown to date. The Ducks have beaten 3 teams that will be idly watching TV during bowl season, and only a major step up by QB Herbert is likely to keep this thing anywhere near the spread. Take Snodfart to beat 1 1/2 -- and for big bucks, big rubles, what have you.

4. ASU @ UDUB (-17). Considering both teams are 2-1, that spread no. may seem temptingly outsized -- but wait a min. before risking your spring term tuition on the Scum Devils beating that 17. It's always hard to win in Seattle, and the Dawgs are on a 10-game home W streak (and 16 of 17). Correct, their O is still uninspired, and last wk QB Browning still looked like he wasn't ready for the 2018 season. Welp, he better be now; and if he is, he'll make ASU live down to the Desert Team on the Road stereotype, and bigly -- which is what that 17-pt. spread is there for. Still, I sez take the Dawgs -- but more w/ held breath (and modest $) than w/ the high-roller confidence Dub *should* be generating by this time.
