Play: Southern Cal +3 -110
Time: 3:30 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Stanford has the nation's longest home winning streak (17 games) and has prevailed in 38 of their last 41 at home. Am I crazy going against the Cardinal? I say no. I was more impressed with SC's 52-13 win over Fresno State than Stanford's win against UC Davis in their openers. The Trojans beat the Cardinal last season and they are fresh off a 701-yard and 37-first-down performance (not a misprint) vs. the Bulldogs. Junior quarterback Cody Kessler earned Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors in Week 1 when he passed for 394 yards and four TDs. USC boasts a balanced attack with RB Javorius "Buck" Allen, who ran for 133 yards against Fresno State. Know this: The Trojans have blocked 25 kicks or punts since the start of the 2010 season and they are 33-10-2 at Stanford Stadium. Should be a hell of a game, with USC prevailing.
Record: 184-132-7 (58.2%)
Bankroll: +142.31%
