USC vs Wisconsin Prediction

In this USC vs Wisconsin Prediction, Wisconsin is coming as -7 home favorites. Both teams have identical overall records this season but Wisconsin has been almost perfect at home with just one loss in their 11 home games played. They are coming red-hot into this matchup with a 7-1 record in their last 8 games and are 4-1 against the spread, while USC is struggling lately, with a 2-4 record in its last 6 games and 4-5 against the spread in its last 9. Both offenses have been in opposite trajectories in the past couple of games, as Wisconsin is averaging 97 points per game in its last two, while USC just 66 in its last two, so I expect the hosts to get the job done in this one. Take Wisconsin and lay the points.
