I’m sure this is a turning point for CU this week. They were humbled last week. Watch for them to rebound on Saturday and keep this close!
USC are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, and USC has had some turnover problems in their passing game this year. I’m going with Colorado as the home underdogs to cover the spread at +21.5.
USC wins straight up though! 🙂
For the total, I’m expecting a good ole’ fashioned shootout at the O.K. Corral.
My model has this one at 81 points total, so play the OVER 73.5. The total has gone OVER in 11 of Colorado’s last 15 games, and for USC the total has gone OVER in 11 of their last 12 games.
