USC vs Nebraska Prediction

USC is probably the more talented team, but the Trojans haven’t played well on the road this season. Also, USC is 2-11 ATS in its last 13 road games as a favorite. Nebraska is having a solid season for the most part with an offense that’s high-flying and one of the more underrated defenses in the country. Nebraska is 11th in total defense and second in passing defense. Nebraska will be up for this game and is breaking out the black uniforms. The atmosphere will be electric. I’ll take a shot with the points in a game the Huskers could win outright.
