Randy’s Pick

The USC Trojans should be big favorites for obvious reasons as they’re loaded on both sides of the ball, have the Heisman favorite at QB, and we just saw Arizona State get shutout by Fresno State. A USC blowout would surprise nobody. However, Arizona State on the road can be a tricky spot due to an underrated crowd and this is a potential look ahead spot for USC with Colorado on deck. If anything, USC should be focused on winning and getting out to keep guys injury free. Ton of points here. It’s Arizona State or pass for me.
