#5 Washington at #20 USC Prediction, Odds and Trends in Week 10

The first Playoff Committee rankings have been released, and while the expected teams are in there, the order in which they have been placed is a minor surprise. MyBookie Sportsbook Regular Season Football Betting Preview | #5 Washington vs #20 USC

With 5 unbeaten teams at the top, someone had to miss out, with the Washington Huskies being that team. They, though, still control their own destiny, as 2 of the top 4 teams, Ohio State and Michigan, have still to play one another this season. If the Huskies win out, including the PAC-12 Conference Championship Game, they will more than likely be headed to the playoffs. That task is not easy, though, with their trip to LA to face the USC Trojans looming very large. The wheels have come off a little for USC over the past couple of weeks, but they are still a very good team. The bookies have the Huskies in as a 3 ½ point road favorite, with the total set at a whopping 76 ½.

Why bet on the Washington Huskies

Like we mentioned above, the Huskies come into this weekend with a perfect 8-0 record, which is good enough to have them as the #5 team in the nation. As the season progresses, the pressure really does begin to mount for Washington, with several big hurdles to clear before they can start thinking about the playoffs. The good news is that they are on a run that has seen them win each of their last 6 games on the road. On the flipside, they have not been great against USC, going just 2-6 SU in their last 8 visits to Memorial Coliseum. While that record is certainly concerning, they have been good against the spread when facing the Trojans, going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings. They won’t care about covering as long as they get the win in the end. In their last 7 games versus conference foes, the OVER has hit 5 times.

Why bet on the USC Trojans

During his time with Oklahoma, Lincoln Riley built an offensive team that was always fun to watch, but who would eventually crumble due to poor defense. It looks as though he is now having similar issues as the head coach of the USC Trojans. In the 2 games that they have lost this season, USC surrendered a total of 82 points. They also avoided a 3rd straight defeat by the narrowest of margins last weekend, winning a 50-49 thriller against Cal. On a positive note, this is a team that loves home field advantage, winning 11 of the last 12 games in their own building. That said, they have failed to cover the spread in each of their last 6 games overall, as well as in 5 in a row in conference games. The OVER has hit in each of their last 6 games.

#5 Washington vs #20 USC Expert Pick and Series Prediction

I can almost guarantee that we are going to see a ton of offense in this game, but I am not so sure we see the OVER hit. I like the Huskies to continue their march to the postseason with a win, plus I like them to cover, too.
