USC vs Michigan Prediction
We're going to learn a lot about the USC Trojans in a true road game, and Michigan has lost just once at home in nearly four years. It's enough to consider grabbing the free touchdown with the Wolverines. The problem is Michigan has been a mess offensively and Davis Warren has been a turnover machine. Michigan is also 89th in pass defense, and that's not ideal with how Miller Moss has looked through a couple of games. Michigan is also 0-3 ATS this season, while USC is 2-0 ATS. I'll lay the touchdown with the USC Trojans on the road.
