Oregon at USC 2010 College Football Predictions: The Oregon Ducks (7-0) might be No. 2 in this weeks BCS standings but are No. 1 in the human polls, AP and USA-Today/Coaches. The USC Trojans, who will be denied a bowl trip in the postseason will do their best to create their own bowl Saturday at the LA Coliseum when they battle the 7-0 Ducks (8 pm ET, ABC). The Trojans would like nothing more than to deny the Ducks a chance for a BCS Championship. Southern Cal is 5-2, those losses coming by a combined three points.
Sportsbook.com favored Oregon with an opening line of 7-points, a line that has since been bet down to -6 1/2. Word is out that USC might pull a rabbit out of its Trojan hat and cover the spread or pull off a SU upset.
Reno Gold's pick: I am impressed with the Ducks, from what I've seen, and expect to see them take care of business at the LA Coliseum tonight. Put me down for Oregon -6 1/2 .
