At the beginning of last week two of the biggest bet on College Football disappointments were USC and Arizona. Both teams were considered underachievers with coaches squandering top tier talent. A clear difference in just seven days has taken place. Indeed, both the Trojans and Wildcats are coming off impressive wins. Equally important they were able to shut down a lot of negativity. Commencing with this week, one of these two teams can truly turn around their season. On the contrary the loser of this Pac 12 matchup Saturday will be right back in the soup.

USC vs. Arizona TV Coverage: ESPN2
USC Trojans
Southern Cal has a bet on College Football record of 2-2 straight up and 0-4 against the spread. Also, three of Troy’s four games have gone over the total. Above all USC stopped a two-game losing streak with a 39-36 home win over Washington State last Friday. Immediately worrisome are the Southern Cal metrics. For example, Troy has national rankings of 97th for total offense and 100th for scoring offense. In the same way their defense ranks 83rd overall and 81st for points allowed. Admittedly the big win over Wazzu may prove to be a band aid.
Arizona Wildcats
Arizona has a sportsbook mark of 2-2 both straight up and against the spread. Correlate their mark of 1-3 under the total so far this year. Last week the Wildcats scored a 35-14 payout at Oregon State as four-point chalks. Most important of all Sumlin seemed to get his offense back on track. Arizona outgained OSU 594-238 and rumbled for 442 yards rushing. Khalil Tate had his best game at quarterback this year with 152 yards passing and two touchdowns. But JJ Taylor stole the show with a staggering 284 yards rushing with two touchdowns.
Khalil Tate
In view of Tate’s sluggish start after a spectacular 2017 season Sumlin was catching plenty of heat. As a matter of fact, he was derided as the only man that could stop Tate. Compared to previous coach Rich Rodriguez the new Arizona mentor wants a more diversified attack. Counter to last year when the entire team revolved around Tate.
Team vs. Team
Consider Arizona has paid in three of their last five as home dogs. Just one of their last four in that role have gone over the total. Balanced against that is USC’s strong numbers as a road favorite. To show the Men of Troy have covered seven of their last ten in that role. Ten of their last 11 as road chalks went under the total.USC has dominated this series with four payouts in the last five meetings. Also, the Trojans have covered their last two games at Arizona Stadium.
Matchup to Watch
USC has the far deeper roster in this Bet on College Football matchup. As a result, they should wear down the Wildcats. As mentioned earlier they excel as road chalks and at Arizona.
