Washington vs. USC Picks
In a battle of two strong offenses, which team should you pick to cover the spread when Washington takes on No. 18 USC in Week 5.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook BroburySports.com have made USC a 10-point favorite at home against the Huskies. The over/under has been set at 60.5.
Not many would have thought to pick Washington to beat USC last season, and coming into this year, the Huskies may have been the popular pick to win again, but through four games it is clear that the Huskies have some issues. Quarterback Jake Locker has struggled while the defense can’t stop anyone.
For USC, their offense has been rolling while their defense has also had some concerns. For this game, we think it will be high scoring and would even suggest a pick of the over, but the main focus is on USC. We think the Trojans can run the ball at will and their speed on defense should be able to make enough plays to force Locker into bad decisions. The team is also motivated by the loss from last season, which should allow the Trojans to win by more than 10 points at home. That is why we like a pick of USC -10 in this game.
