USC has a defense that has already become the stuff of legend. The Trojans have yielded just 7.8 points per game, and ranks first in total defense, first in pass defense, fifth in rushing defense (allowing 2.6 yards a carry) and has held ten different opponents to ten points or less.
BetUS NCAA Football Betting Odds: USC -9, Total 45
The USC Trojans (10-1 SU, 7-4 ATS) can earn a trip to the Rose Bowl on Saturday if they can score a victory over the UCLA Bruins (4-7 SU, 6-5 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action in the Pac-10 Conference that is scheduled to begin at 4:30 PM ET at the Rose Bowl (natural turf) in Pasadena, CA.
This is not the marquee matchup it has been in the past, but on Saturday they will lace ’em up again in a rivalry where sometimes you can throw the records out the window. The Ohio State Buckeyes (9-2 SU, 4-6 ATS), who still have some designs on the Big Ten title, will play host to the struggling Michigan Wolverines (3-8 SU, 2-9 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action that is scheduled to kick off at Noon ET at Ohio Stadium (artificial turf) in Columbus, O.
The USC Trojans (8-1 SU, 6-3 ATS) are looking for big revenge when they travel to the Bay Area on Saturday to face the Stanford Cardinal (5-5 SU, 6-4 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action that is set to begin at 7 PM ET at Stanford Stadium (natural turf) in Palo Alto, CA.
The Washington Huskies (0-7 SU, 1-6 ATS), who now have a lame-duck coach to go with a winless record, will have their work cut out for them on Saturday as they tackle the USC Trojans (6-1 SU, 5-2 ATS) in NCAA college football sports betting action that is slated to kick off at 6:30 PM ET at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (natural turf).
The USC Trojans (2-1 SU & ATS) will try to rebound from a devastating upset loss when they take the field against the Oregon Ducks (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS) in a Pac-10 game in NCAA college football action that is set to kick off at 8 PM ET at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (natural turf).
After watching the USC Trojans (2-1 SU, 2-1 ATS, 0-2-1 O/U), get their rear ends handed to them in last week’s 27-21 road loss to Oregon State, I am surprised that Southern Cal is giving so many points to a talented Oregon Ducks (4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS, 3-2 O/U), team that is coming off a thorough 63-14 rout of beleaguered Washington on Saturday.
The top-ranked USC Trojans (2-0 SU & ATS) will put their undefeated record on the line on Saturday when they face off against the Oregon State Beavers (1-2 SU & ATS) in a Pac-10 college football matchup that is set to take place at 9 PM ET at Reser Stadium (artificial turf) in Corvallis, OR.
The USC Trojans opened up as 9.5 point favorites over the Ohio State Buckeyes this Saturday night, but that didn’t dissuade Trojan backers in the least.
It’s the first huge showdown of the year in college football, as the Ohio State Buckeyes (2-0 SU, 0-1 ATS) take the field against the USC Trojans (1-0 SU & ATS) in an inter-conference game that some think could be a preview of the BCS title match, set to kick off at 8 PM ET on Saturday at the Los Angeles Coliseum (natural turf).
The #5 Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t getting a lot of respect as they are 10.5-point dogs at the #1 USC Trojans Saturday night.
