PAC-12:

USC (9.5 Wins): OVER (-110)

If you read my College Football Preview article, you will know I am All-In on the Trojans this season. Lincoln Riley brings his prolific offense. Riley is not coming empty-handed. Caleb Williams and Jordan Addison transferring into USC will quickly become the most potent tandem in the conference. 

I am picking the Trojans to win the Pac-12 and clear 9.5 wins.

Utah (9.0 Wins): OVER (-125)

Kyle Whittingham is bringing back a loaded roster for 2022. Tavion Thomas keeps the offense on course with a strong running game. Thomas found the end zone TWENTY times in 2021. Cameron Rising is a 'rising' superstar, and the Utes will keep the opposition off balance all season long. Take the over.

Oregon (8.5 Wins): OVER (-135)

Bo Nix should bring some veteran leadership to the QB room. I think the Ducks are a slight step behind USC and Utah, but they should still clear 8.5 wins. Take the Over.

UCLA (8.5 Wins): UNDER (-115)

Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been playing at UCLA for what feels like forever. Thompson-Robinson brings an element to the Chip Kelly offense that adds firepower through the air and on the ground. Many thought Zach Charbonnet would declare for the NFL Draft, but the Zach Attack is back to give the Bruins a physical presence. I like the pieces here, but it's hard to trust Chip Kelly in a season-long prop. I'll take the Under.

Washington (7.5 Wins): UNDER (+110)

I like the addition of QB transfer Michael Pennix Jr. The problem I see for the Huskies--they have too many defensive stalwarts to replace. I see a few too many shoot-outs for the Huskies. I'll take the Under.

Oregon State (6.5 Wins): UNDER (-135)

Oregon State committed far too many back-breaking turnovers in 2021. This number feels aggressive for a team with many holes to fill. Take the Under.

Washington State (5.5 Wins): OVER (+105)

Washington State is one of my favorite sleeper teams heading into 2022. Cameron Ward transferred in from Incarnate Word and is one of the best watches in all of college football. The Cougars are going to shock some people. Take the Over.

Arizona State (6.0 Wins): OVER (-105)

The Jayden Daniels transfer from Arizona State was a brutal pill to swallow. Daniels brought energy and explosiveness to the Sun Devil offense. All hope is not lost, however. Emory Jones transferring from Florida will bring electricity in his own right.

Herm Edwards is on the hot seat. I believe they answer the bell and creep over six wins. Take the Over.

California (5.5 Wins): UNDER (-120)

Jack Plummer transferring from Purdue--provides California with a stop-gap answer at the QB position. California has a tough schedule, so I lean the Under.

Stanford (4.5 Wins): OVER (+120)

Stanford is never going to wow you with offensive firepower. Instead, the Cardinal beat you down into submission. I like Tanner McKee a lot at the quarterback position. Stanford makes a push for a bowl bid and clears the OVER.

Colorado (3.0 Wins): UNDER (-110)

The Colorado football program feels like a program that has lost hope. Jarek Broussard--transferring hurt the upside for the Colorado offense. Colorado has a brutal opening season schedule and will play for pride by October. Hammer the Under.

Arizona (3.0 Wins): UNDER (-115)

The Wildcat program has fallen on hard times. Arizona won just a single game in 2021. Jayden de Laura, transferring in from Washington State, offers some hope, but I don't believe his emergence can move the needle in the desert. Take the Under.
