4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: USC -6.5
USC’s offense has done a good job extending drives by converting third downs. I expect them to have another good offensive performance vs. Utah.
My pick is USC at -6.5. USC are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, and they’re also 11-0 in their last 11 at home.
Utah are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against SC.
My model has this one coming in at 54. I’m putting a small play on the UNDER in this one. This is just a small lean. Don’t go more than a half unit on this one.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Utah’s last 6 games, and the UNDER has hit in 4 of Utah’s last 5 on the road.
