NCAA-F | USC vs Washington State
Play on: UNDER 65½ -110
Free Pick on USC/Washington St UNDER 65.5
A lot of people are expecting a shootout tonight between the Cougars and Trojans with all the offensive fire-power that will be on display, including two of the top quarterbacks in the country in USC's Sam Darnold and Washington State's Luke Falk. I believe that has this total inflated quite a bit and the value is clearly on the UNDER.
The Trojans have had some lapses and let some teams hang around that they shouldn't, but the defense definitely turned it up a notch after that poor showing in the opener against Western Michigan. They have been much better against the pass than the run and that's ideal here against a Washington State offense that basically only throws the ball. USC can get after the quarterback with their pass rush and Falk likes to hold on to the ball, which should lead to some big sacks and empty possessions for the Cougars.
A lot of people think Washington State is all offense, but they have been playing much better on the defensive side of the ball the last couple of seasons and are currently 12th in the country in total defense coming into this game. They are 42nd against the run (120.0 ypg) and 12th against the pass (142.3 ypg). I think they can give USC's offense some problems, especially given the circumstances of this being a home night game that is getting a ton of attention. Martin Stadium is going to be electric.
UNDER is now 22-8-1 in the Trojans last 31 conference games and 4-1 in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. UNDER is also 6-0 in USC's last 6 as a road favorite and 6-0 in the Cougars last 6 home games after rushing for 125 or less yards in 2 straight games. Take the UNDER!
