Pac-12 football game predictions: Week 3

The two most interesting games on the #Pac12 slate this week: Washington at @TheSpartansWire and Fresno State at ASU.

The first two weeks of the college football season have gone well for the Pac-12 Conference, and more than half the teams in the league have earned spots in the latest top 25 rankings.

The panelists are back for another week of picks: Matt Zemek, Matt Wadleigh and Donovan James of Trojans Wire, Jack Carlough and Tony Cosolo of Buffaloes Wire, and Don Smalley, Myles Dwyer and Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire.

With everybody looking forward to Week 4 and Week 5, this week should be pretty chalk with not very many exciting games on the schedule. Follow Spartans Wire for coverage of its game against Washington, one of the few high-profile Pac-12 games this week.

Here are the picks from the panelists, and the USC Trojans have the week off.

Week 1 Pac-12 football picks involve very few complicated games

Cal at North Texas is the #Pac12 football game which will be very hard to predict this weekend. @IanHest offered his prediction on our podcast.

Most of the games in the Pac-12 in Week 1 are not that hard to predict, at least on paper.

Washington is a heavy favorite against Boise State at home. Oregon, USC, and Arizona are playing cupcakes. Colorado is a massive underdog at TCU. UCLA is supposed to beat Coastal Carolina.

If there is real intrigue and uncertainty surrounding Pac-12 football games on the first full weekend of the new season, look to the Bay Area schools (the ones which just joined the ACC).

Stanford at Hawaii and California at North Texas represent two of the more interesting games on the Pac-12 football slate for Week 1 in 2023. On the Trojans Wired podcast, co-hosts Matt Zemek and Ian Hest predicted every Pac-12 football game on the schedule, as they will continue to do for the full season. Their only disagreement on a pick came in one of the two Bay Area school games. Get the answer by listening to the show:

Game week means game predictions. Seven #Pac12 football analysts pick Week 1 games in the conference. Let’s go!

We are making all sorts of predictions, now that the 2023 college football season is fully upon us. USC got the party started in Week Zero, but now everyone joins in for Week 1.

We at Trojans Wire are working with our other Pac-12 College Wire sites.

In one article, we offered predictions on how Deion Sanders will fare at Colorado:

“Jack Carlough of Buffaloes Wire, Matt Wadleigh and Matt Zemek of Trojans Wire, and Zachary Neel of Ducks Wire gave their predictions for the Buffs, and there is a common theme: It will be a difficult year for Coach Prime in Boulder,” Matt Wadleigh wrote.

USC game predictions appear in one article at our site. Oregon picks can be found in another separate piece.
