The crazy world of Pac-10 football will make a little more sense after the Southern Cal Trojans visit the California Golden Bears in Week 5 of the college football schedule.
Oddsmakers have set the Trojans as early 5.5-point road favorites. Southern Cal has won the last five meeting with Cal, posting a 3-2 record against the spread. Going back over the last 10 years, USC is 7-3 but just 4-6 ATS versus the Golden Bears.
Mississippi: 2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS
South Carolina: 2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS
The Mississippi Rebels’ offense is firing on all cylinders after just two games. The South Carolina Gamecocks’ offense sputtered to start the season but has been starting to warm up in their past two contests. The big question is if the Gamecocks can keep pace with Ole Miss when the teams meet in Columbia on Thursday night.
Georgia Tech: 2-0 SU, 0-1 ATS
Miami: 1-0 SU, 1-0 ATS
The ACC has a bad rep this season, but two of the conference’s top teams have the national spotlight on Thursday night. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Miami Hurricanes are both coming off nail-biting wins heading into this week’s ACC Coastal showdown.
