Trends

Arizona is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record. The over is 5-1 in Arizona’s last 6 road games. USC is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. The over is 7-3 in USC’s last 10 games. The road team is 4-1 ATS in these two teams last 5 head to head meetings.

Pick

USC comes into this game playing very well and has won four games in a row, while Arizona is coming off of an upset loss at the buzzer in their last game. USC has held their opponents to 65 points or fewer in four of their last five games, but they will be facing an Arizona team that is scoring 83.3 points per game. I really like how USC has looked in recent games and I like them to get the home win here.
