  Stanford at UCLA (Pac-12 Network, 3:00 p.m.)

They're also 9-4 ATs in the past 13 overall and 19-6-1 ATS in the past 26 against losing sides.

Colorado at California (Pac-12 Network, 7:00 p.m.)
The Buffaloes hit the road looking to snap an ugly six-game losing skid. It's hard to believe Colorado opened 5-0 SU and are now in danger of missing a bowl game, but it's true.

They're well rested, and Vegas feels good about their chances as they're 12 1/2-point favorites as of Wednesday morning.

Notre Dame at Southern California (ABC, 8:00 p.m.)
The Irish face one final hurdle in their quest for a spot in the four-team national playoff, while USC needs a victory if they wish to go bowling this season.
