As far as driving tips, it really depends on time of day. Interstate 5 (locally know as simply The Five) is a disaster and a half from 3PM to 6PM in LA proper due to traffic and construction. In Orange County it is free flowing since it's much wider and has HOV lanes in both directions. 7 hours sounds about right if traffic is flowing from San Fran.
If you are driving down on the actual game day, give yourself PLENTY of room for error since traffic can fluctuate greatly.
The five bypasses all the Beach Cities since DenverFlame is right, Newport is also congested nowadays.
