Randy’s Pick

The USC Trojans could obviously blow the doors off at home, and it would surprise nobody. However, Arizona deserves more respect than this, as the Wildcats can throw the ball successful and they’re one of the best defenses in the PAC-12. Arizona is 23rd against the run and 35th in scoring defense. Arizona took Mississippi State to overtime on the road and just lost to Washington by 7 points. Also, a weird spot for USC as it’s fresh off a hyped game against Colorado and has to go to Notre Dame next week. Lot of points. Give me the Arizona Wildcats.
