California Golden Bears 1-0 @ #14 Washington Huskies 1-0

Date: Saturday, September 7th

Time: 7:30 pm PT

Location: Seattle, WA

TV: FS1

Streaming: Foxsportsgo.com

Radio: KOMO AM 1000 and TuneIn

Excitement Rating: 10/10 (I will always give UW a 10/10 in the excitement rating. Actual score 8/10...) If you aren’t a Husky fan the odds are this isn’t going to be a very exciting game. Luckily, if you’re reading this you probably are. Washington will have plenty of motivation after a head scratching loss in Berkeley from a season ago. Expect a defensive rock fight as 2 of the 3 best defenses (along with Utah) in the conference go head to head.

Washington is a 13.5 point favorite and the Over/Under is 43.5 which means the betting public expects a score of Washington 28, California 15.

Other Pac-12 Games

Northern Illinois 1-0 @ Utah 1-0

Time: 10:00 am PT

TV: Pac-12 Networks

Streaming: Pac-12.com/live

Excitement Rating: 2/10. It isn’t quite a 9a kickoff but you do get to watch Pac-12 football in roughly the first time slot of the day which is nice. But the lack of competition is really the only thing going for this game.

Utah is a 21.5 point favorite and the Over/Under is 44 which means the betting public expects a score of Utah 33, Northern Illinois 11.

Nebraska 1-0 @ Colorado 1-0

Time: 12:30 pm PT

TV: FOX

Streaming: Foxsportsgo.com

Excitement Rating: 7/10. This game is an old Big 12 showdown that would’ve been a game of the year at points in the 90’s. Instead, it’s a pair of teams that have a recent history of underachieving. The good news is that both teams look to be much better on offense than on defense so this could be a shootout. It would be a nice little boost for the conference’s reputation if the Buffs were able to pull this one out.

Colorado is a 4 point underdog and the Over/Under is 64.5 which means the betting public expects a score of Colorado-30, Nebraska-34.

San Diego State 1-0 @ UCLA 0-1

Time: 1:15 pm PT

TV: Pac-12 Networks

Streaming: Pac-12.com/live

Excitement Rating: 2/10. Did you watch UCLA last week? If so then you probably have sworn off watching them again this season. Did you watch San Diego State last week (6-0 win over Weber State)? If so then you probably have sworn off watching them again this season. This only avoids the 1 in the excitement rating because of the potential for some really screwy turnover situations like consecutive pick-sixes or something.

UCLA is a 8 point favorite and the Over/Under is 45 which means the betting public expects a score of UCLA 27, San Diego State-19.

Northern Colorado 0-1 @ #22 Washington State 1-0

Time: 2:00 pm PT

TV: Pac-12 Washington

Streaming: Pac-12.com/live

Excitement Rating: 1/10. Northern Colorado is an FCS team and there is no official betting line for this game. Wazzu will win by a lot. You’re welcome. Moving on.

Nevada 1-0 @ #16 Oregon 0-1

Time: 4:30 pm PT

TV: Pac-12 Networks

Streaming: Pac-12.com/live

Excitement Rating: 5/10. Nevada is riding off an incredible high after an upset win over Purdue while Oregon had their hearts stomped on yet again. This game will mostly be interesting to see how each squad reacts after contrasting emotional highs and lows but Oregon should assert dominance at some point. The question is only how long it will take them.

Oregon is a 24 point favorite and the Over/Under is 61 which means the betting public expects a score of Oregon-42, Nevada-18.

#23 Stanford 1-0 vs. USC 1-0

Time: 7:30 pm PT

TV: ESPN

Streaming: Espn.com/watch

Excitement Rating: 5/10. This game looked a lot better before J.T Daniels shredded his knee and K.J Costello got hit in the head. Now there’s a good chance this is a matchup of backup quarterbacks and I bet ESPN wishes it could flip this with the UW/Cal game at the same time. Whoops.

USC is a 1 point favorite and the Over/Under is 45 which means the betting public expects a score of USC-23, Stanford-22.

Northern Arizona 1-0 @ Arizona 0-1

Time: 7:45 pm PT

TV: Pac-12 Networks

Streaming: Pac-12.com/live

Excitement Rating: 1/10. FCS vs. FBS.

Northern Arizona is an FCS team and there is no official betting line for this game.

Oregon State 0-1 @ Hawaii 1-0

Time: 8:59 pm PT

TV: None

Streaming: Hawaii’s Facebook page apparently...

Excitement Rating: 4/10. The good thing is that when you get home from the UW game some time after 11p there’s a good chance this game will still be going. The Arizona/Hawaii game in Week 0 was a lot of fun as long as you weren’t rooting for Zona and this one will be similar as long as you aren’t rooting for the Beavers.

Oregon State is a 6.5 point underdog and the Over/Under is 78 which means the betting public expects a score of Oregon State-36, Hawaii-42.
