Pac-12 football is back for Week 6, and there is a five-game slate for fans everywhere to bet on including ASU football playing No. 21 Colorado.

Every Pac-12 team was in action a week ago, but Oregon and USC have byes in Week 6. Action kicks off with Arizona State at Colorado, which is followed by four games later Saturday.

Arizona State at Colorado

Line: Colorado -2.0

Eno Benjamin set ASU’s school record for rushing yards in a game with 312 last week. Likewise, the Sun Devils couldn’t stop the run, allowing 254 yards on the ground to Oregon State’s Jermar Jefferson.

This week, the Sun Devils face a dual-threat quarterback Steven Montez, who shredded UCLA last Friday. Standing 6-foot-5, Montez is one of the most physically gifted players in the conference, and he’s also insanely accurate, completing 75.8 percent of his passes this season.

Kickoff starts at 1 p.m., and the temperature is expected to be in the low 50s. Needless to say, it won’t be a “dry heat.”

Out of their typical element, the Sun Devils will fall on the road. Colorado will win by at least a touchdown and cover.

Washington at UCLA

Line: Washington -21.0

Washington had absolutely zero problems with BYU in Week 5, and that won’t change when the Huskies travel to the Rose Bowl.

UCLA is still winless after a loss to Colorado, and although the Bruins trailed by only one at halftime, their second half effort was horrible. The team was inefficient on offense, and on defense, it couldn’t tackle.

After four games, UCLA hasn’t shown any semblance of team chemistry, and that’s not going to work against a team like Washington. The Huskies will cover the spread by halftime.

Washington State at Oregon State

Line: Washington State -17.0

Gardner Minshew is one of the best quarterbacks in the NCAA, and he showed it last week. Against Utah, Minshew threw for 445 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Cougars improve to 4-1.

Oregon State, on the other hand, fell to 0-2 in conference play after the Beavers were embarrassed by Benjamin and Arizona State.

OSU’s defense is the worst in the conference, and Gardner Minshew very well could put up more than 400 yards again. WSU will win and cover on the road.

California at Arizona

Line: California -2.0

Cal struck first against Oregon last week, but it didn’t last long. After opening up to a 10-7 lead, Oregon came back and won 42-24.

There is a lot of uncertainty at Cal’s quarterback spot, and with Arizona’s defense slowly improving, Saturday could be interesting.

Much of this game depends on Khalil Tate‘s health and if he can use his legs. If not Cal will win by more than a touchdown and score.

Utah at Stanford

Line: Stanford -3.5

Stanford was routed a week ago by Notre Dame, but this week, they return to Palo Alto to host Utah.

The Cardinal only recorded 229 yards of offense, but Notre Dame’s defense is much stingier than Utah’s will be this week. Utah gave up 445 yards of offense to Washington State, which didn’t record a rushing yard all game.

If quarterback K.J. Costello can find his groove in the pocket, Stanford should cover.
