Here’s a funny stat that teaches us almost nothing: in Week 3, home teams in Pac-12 games went 1-5 against the spread. In Week 4, home teams went 6-0 against the spread. I got halfway there with a 3-3 ATS record (5-1 SU, missing WSU’s narrow win over OSU). Interestingly, the three home dogs- WSU, Stanford, and ASU- all covered. I was especially impressed by the Cardinal and Sun Devils, who looked like the dregs of the conference in previous weeks but put up real fights against superior opposition. Nonetheless, the conference’s top teams all held serve and now we enter a week with four Pac-12 teams in the top 10 nationally, all of whom travel for away conference games this weekend.
Picking the Pac, Week 5: One (through 10) for the Road
