Oregon State Beavers vs USC Trojans prediction
The USC Trojans are at home, but they’ve done nothing to deserve to be this big of a favorite against anybody. This line is nuts if we’re being honest. USC has lost 6 straight games, it plays too fast, and it’s 9-12 ATS on the season. There’s no reason to consider USC at this number. The Oregon State Beavers beat USC by 16 points back in December and despite their losses, they’ve still covered 7 of their last 10 games. I’m not laying chalk with the USC Trojans in any shape or form. The value is with Oregon State and the points in the PAC-12 showdown.
