Oregon vs USC Prediction
Oregon just hasn’t played good ball this season and is fresh off a game against Minnesota where it scored 44 points. 44 points. Oregon was a 3.5-point favorite in that game. Oregon also hasn’t had any success on the road and is 8-18 ATS on the season. There’s not a lot of reason to get behind this Oregon team. USC beat Oregon on the road back in December and needs a strong performance after recent losses to Illinois and Ohio State. The line is reasonable. Oregon isn’t good. Give me the Trojans and the chalk.
