Meanwhile, Las Vegas puts the Utes win total at 6.5, which is where they think the public will bet ~50-50 above and below that figure.
Other PAC 12 teams are:
Washington 10, USC 9.5, Stanford 8.5, Oregon 8, Washington State 7.5, Colorado 7.5, UCLA 6.5, Arizona 5.5, Oregon State 5.5, ASU 5, and Cal 3.5
5, 6, or 7 wins seems to be the prediction
