Colorado is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a win. The over is 7-3 in Colorado’s last 10 road games. USC is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games. The under is 5-1 in USC’s last 6 games following a loss. The road team is 5-1 ATS in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.
USC comes into this game on a two game losing streak, but will be at home as they look to get back on a winning note. Colorado has won four of their last five games, with two 20+ wins over Oregon State and Oregon. This should be a great game, as both teams are about even on metrics, but I like USC at home.
