Oregon has been a fantastic play for bettors coming off wins, covering in seven of its last nine games following a victory. The Ducks are also 17-8 against the number in their last 25 conference games and have covered in 25 of their last 37 games overall.

The opposite can be said for USC, which has struggled at the betting window of late. The Trojans are just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games and have failed to cover in four of their last five home games versus the Ducks. They'll once again have a tough time containing senior forward Elgin Cook, who tied a career high with 26 points when Oregon beat USC 89-81 on January 21 of this year.
