USC vs Washington Prediction
The USC Trojans are the more talented team, but we've seen them struggle against physical teams this season, and I'm just not sold they're going to go on the road and impose their will. The Washington Huskies still have issues putting points on the board, but they're strong in the trenches and sixth in total defense. Washington is capable of making this game ugly and possibly finding a way to steal it late. Washington hasn't lost a home game in 3 years. This is the first time in three years, Washington has been a home underdog. Give me the Huskies and the points.
