USC Trojans vs Washington Huskies prediction
Can we really trust the USC Trojans, a team that’s underachieved up to this point and has been a mess defensively? However, USC is playing its best ball of the season after winning three straight games, and that includes an upset win over Arizona. USC also beat Washington on the road less than two weeks ago, shooting 54 percent from the field. The Washington Huskies have been hit or miss all year, and it’s hard to figure out which team is showing up from game to game. USC is in far better form and the confidence should be building. I’ll lay the points with the Trojans.
