This is a major test for both sides, and Utah sportsbooks are giving the advantage to the Utes in this one. Utah handled business as usual in Week 1 with a 66-14 win over Idaho. They played an extremely clean game with just one penalty, went 8/12 on first downs, and had 33 first downs total for the game for over 600 yards of total offense.

Arkansas, on the other hand, had a much less impressive outing in their 31-14 win over FCS North Alabama after going in as 40.5-point favorites. The pass game was mediocre, with KJ Jackson going for 267 yards at 7.6 yards per completion and none longer than 25 yards. The run game was even worse with just 148 yards on 49 carries for 3.0 ypc.

With how slow and inefficient Arkansas looked, it’s hard to fade the Utes and their efficiency.

  • Pick: Utah -12.5

In Week 0, we saw the Trojans offense explode for 42 points, however, they allowed 26 points to San Jose State. Week 1, they tightened up on defense in a shutout 39-0 win over Fresno State. Three times the charm this time around, as we should see their offense fully click, and the defense continue to build against a much lesser opponent in Louisiana.

The Rajin Cajuns were a true ground-and-pound team in Week 1 with 41 attempts for 243 yards on 5.9 ypc. USC’s run defense has been elite through both weeks, holding both opponents to under 150 total rush yards.

This is a recipe for disaster for the Cajuns and a dream matchup for USC. Slam the Trojans, getting it done easily on California sportsbooks.

  • Pick: USC -31
