USC vs Washington Prediction 

USC comes into this matchup on a lengthy losing streak, they are on the road, and they are missing one of their leading scorers. The Trojans are shooting 46% from the field and they have allowed 81+ points in four of their last five. Washington has alternated losses and wins over their last five games and they are 1-2 in their last three home games. The Huskies are shooting 46% from the field and they have scored fewer than 70 points in three of their last five. I don’t like either team in this matchup, so I will grab the points with USC here.

David Racey's Pick: USC +6.5
