Trojans In Trouble?

USC is coming off a rough 41-27 loss to Oregon in Week 5, and now head coach Lincoln Riley faces adversity on the hot seat. Washington is coming off a loss of their own to Minnesota 27-24.

There is reason to believe that Washington could keep things close on California sportsbooks. Despite the +11.8-point scoring advantage on offense, Washington could hold their own on defense as the seventh-ranked unit in the Big Ten, allowing just 16.8 points per game.

On the other hand, USC’s defense could allow Washington to get going as they allow 26.4 points to opponents along with 354.8 total yards per game.

Both teams come into this one with a combined 1-8 against the spread, with USC failing to cover by -8 points on average. USC has been a double-digit favorite four times this season and failed to cover three times.

As far as the total goes, while it’s easy to slam the over given USC is favored and could control the pace of the game, Washington’s defense will not allow this. Washington is 2-2 with the over this season and 1-3 against a 59-point total.
