COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: USC is 1-5 ATS before playing Stanford. Last year, USC defeated the Orange, 38-17 at home giving 14.5. Syracuse is coming off a 42-41 loss to Northwestern at home and now they face the Trojans at East Rutherford, N.J. Ryan Nassib threw for 470 yards with four touchdowns, so the passing game was certainly on form. They put up 258 yards last year on USC’s defense, which dominated Hawaii last week, 49-10 (but didn’t cover). USC will be a huge favorite most of the year, but now they have to travel across the country to face a pretty dynamic offense. USC will put points on the board and should win this game but won’t cover a spread of near four touchdowns.
