2018 Regular Season Win Totals: Ranking & Predicting The Best Bets By Conference

Pac-12
The win totals are out from the Westgate Las Vegas Superbook. The projected totals are based on regular season games only, and not conference championships or bowl appearances.

The rankings are based on projected safest and most confident investment calls and predictions to the least confident.

1. USC 8.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 10
The Trojans will be undervalued because of the losses in the offensive backfield. The defense will take care of things on the way to a ten-win run, but that includes a projected win at Texas.
– CFN 2018 USC Preview

2. Arizona 7.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 9
The Wildcats have to own Tucson, but they’ll have too much explosion not to blow past the 7.5.
– CFN 2018 Arizona Preview

3. UCLA 5.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 6
Really? … REALLY? Chip Kelly isn’t going to get this team to six wins and a bowl? It’ll be dicey if the Bruins lost to Fresno State, but they’ll find a way to get over the 5.5.
– CFN 2018 UCLA Preview

4. Cal 5.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 6
The team is too experienced and the coaching staff too good to not get to a bowl game. It’ll be tough over the second half, though.
– CFN 2018 Cal Preview

5. Oregon State 2.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 4
Over, over, over. The Beavers will beat Southern Utah and they should win at Nevada. They’ll pull off at least one Pac-12 win, too.
– CFN 2018 Oregon State Preview

6. Utah 7
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 8
And the eight-win projection might be way too low. Start with wins over Weber State, at Northern Illinois and BYU, and just assume the team will be good enough to win at least four Pac-12 games.
– CFN 2018 Utah Preview

CFN Preview 2018: Pac-12 Preview
7. Stanford 8.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 8
There are way too many losable Pac-12 games, there’s the trip to Notre Dame, and there’s the opener against San Diego State. The Cardinal will be good, but there are four losses coming.
– CFN 2018 Stanford Preview

8. Colorado 5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 5
It’ll all come down to the finishing kick against Utah and at Cal to go over. The Buffs will lose both.
– CFN 2018 Colorado Preview

9. Oregon 8.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 8
Oregon has the talent to get to nine wins, but can it beat the good teams this year? The schedule works out well to get over.
– CFN 2018 Oregon Preview

10. Washington 10
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 11
It all comes down to the opener against Auburn. If you think the Huskies will pull off the win, they’ll get to 11. The under is the far safer play, though.
– CFN 2018 Washington Preview

11. Washington State 6
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 5
It’s all about the opener at Wyoming. Pick the Cowboys, and Wazzu will have a hard time getting to six. This is a bit of a rebuilding season.
– CFN 2018 Washington State Preview

12. Arizona State 4.5
CFN Preseason Win Projection: 4
Yuck … stay away from this one. The Sun Devils have road games at San Diego State, Washington, USC, Oregon and Arizona, and home dates against Michigan State, Stanford, Utah and UCLA. There’s too much risk with the 4.5.
– CFN 2018 Arizona State Preview

The kid that just asked UW for his release ... he started following Cort Dennison today on Twitter ... that's your guys LB coach. Oregon has already been busted for this shady type of shit before when Chip was there and I'd bet my left nut Oregon gets busted again. This has Ole Miss written all over it.
