USC vs Oregon Prediction 

These two teams come into this matchup trending in different directions, but Oregon will be at home. The Ducks have lost three games in a row and they are shooting just 40% on the season. USC is 7-0 this year and they are ranked #24 after winning the Maui Tournament last week. The Trojans have had plenty close calls so far this season, but they found ways to escape against Seton Hall, Boise State, and Troy in three of their last four games. I don’t think either team is very good, but I am going to back Oregon at home, as USC can’t continue to barely escape. Take the Ducks to win at home.
