Stanford +8 <P> USC not ready to be a top 2 in the nation. I think Oregon is better in the PAC 12 for starters. They beat up on Hawaii and struggled for 3 quarters against Syracuse before depth pulled them out of it. Stanford a solid choice as a home dog here and they have won 4 out of 5 against the boys of Troy. USC's defense showed many flaws in Monte Kiffens vaunted defense as Syracuse moved the chains on them freely at times, and Stanford offense is playing well and Stanford D Line one of the better ones in the PAC 12. A tough road win here and I see a tight game all the way, take the generous points. <P> Play 1 Unit on Stanford
