Oregon vs USC Prediction
Rivalry game so you can talk yourself into USC and the points. The problem is, Oregon is 4-0 SU and ATS in the last four games against USC, which includes an eight-point road win back in December. USC has lost six of its last seven games and is 11-17 ATS on the season. Oregon is playing some of its best ball right now and is 10-4 SU at home. If USC continues to get destroyed defensively like it has these last few weeks, the Trojans stand no chance on the road here. Give me Oregon and the chalk.
