Pac-12 football picks and spreads for Week 7 of the 2015 college football season. A top 20 showdown between UCLA and Stanford will kick things off on Thursday night.

Date: Thursday, October 15
Kickoff: 10:30 p.m. ET

Since the opening week loss to Northwestern, Stanford has been clicking on both sides of the ball. UCLA will be the best defense the Cardinal have faced so far this season, and the Bruins will count on RB Paul Perkins to keep the chains moving. Stanford’s physicality will wear down UCLA for the win.
Pick: Stanford
Spread: Stanford -6.5

Cougars QB Luke Falk has been solid, throwing 15 TDs on the year and only two interceptions. The Oregon State defensive backfield has been steady and will put up a challenge. It won’t be enough,though, as the Beavers drop their third straight game, and fourth of the season.
Pick: Washington State
Spread: Washington State -8

It has been a long week for USC, which fired Steve Sarkisian earlier in the week, and it could get a lot longer when the Trojans travel to take on a strong Notre Dame team. The Fighting Irish responded from their only loss of the season (Clemson) by beating Navy, 41-24, last week.
Pick: Notre Dame
Spread: Notre Dame -6.5
