Bye Week Pick the Winner - Pastor - 10-11-2010

Since we are not playing, let\'s see who can pick a tough game....

I pick USC by 9

USC by 10-20.  I\'m banking on the offensive stars retaining their mojo and the choke-worthy kal offense making the $C defense look good.

Also, Kevin Riley can\'t tackle nearly as well as Andrew Luck.

The Bears are almost as unpredictable as UCLA.  Can they play at a high level two weeks in a row?  They seem to play MUCH better at home than on the road.  I am picking the Trojans because the game is in LA.

I will add this comment as well - if Cal wins this game, they have a real chance to make some noise in the conference.  Only two more road trips and one is to Pullman.  Stanford or Oregon is going to have to beat the Bears in Berkeley which could be a tall order.

Good point, darn it!  And of course BG is at Cal this year.  We\'ve got 6 tix to the rock pile at Strawberry Canyon so we\'ll get to see this play out first hand.   We debated watching at home but we really want to see the hoped for axe handover in person.

This one is easy.  USC wins 10-20.

My only concern is USC\'s motivation.  Those that follow SC have told me they have not played well at home this year.  That "this is our bowl game" mentality does not work when they are playing at home.

So bad road team playing at bad home team.  I think raw talent wins out, and that means SC.

SC by 10-20. They\'re the better team. But what do I know?  I haven\'t been right on the polls yet.
