Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs USC Prediction
You can argue this is a letdown spot for USC after playing teams like Wichita State and Cal. However, USC has looked so strong in its first three games that it probably doesn’t matter. USC is 3-0 SU and ATS on the season. As I’ve said in previous write-ups, Arkansas-Pine Bluff will eventually become a respectable team after taking its licks with constant road games against good teams, but the wins or covers aren’t coming.
At some point, Arkansas-Pine Bluff has to play some sort of defense and cover a number. Until then, Arkansas-Pine Bluff remains fade material. This is one of the best USC teams we’ve seen in recent memory. Massive line, but USC should get whatever it wants offensively. I’ll lay the buckets with the Trojans.
