For what little it's worth, 3 of 5 writers at The Athletic picked Stanford against the spread (USC -9.5).

Late edit:
The 3 who picked us were Dan Santaromita, Austin Mock, and Brody Miller. The 2 who didn't were Chris Manini and Ari Wasserman.

Separate articles at The Athletic also have Mandel and Feldman picking SC against the spread in their weeklies. Again, for what little it's worth (extremely little).
