Sports books have the USC Trojans heavily favored on Saturday as they host Washington State. USC is expected to get starting quarterback Matt Barkley back this week and that should make them a lot more dangerous in Internet sportsbook odds. USC is a huge favorite at sports books this week against Washington State.
Sports books favor the Trojans by 45 points in this game. Barkley may not have to do much more than hand off considering how bad Washington State is in college football betting. The Cougars simply are one of the worst teams in the country and have no chance of slowing down USC in this Internet sportsbook matchup. 45 points is a lot though in online sports betting but USC has incentive to bounce back after losing last week to Washington in a huge Internet sportsbook upset.
USC missed Barkley last week in the sports books loss to the Huskies. Getting him back should help the Trojans results at the Internet sportsbook. “He’s going to give us the best chance to win right now,” head coach Pete Carroll told the LA Times. Corp played poorly last week in the sports books defeat to Washington as he went 13 of 22 for just 110 yards. USC has now lost four straight years in sports books results to a team that is unranked.
USC was looking great and won at Ohio State with Barkley at quarterback but he was hurt in that game and missed last week’s loss to Washington as sports books info indicates. “He’s our starter, and he’s ready to play, and hopefully with the next couple of days and more rest he’ll feel good,” Carroll said to the Times, “He’s OK now. He’s not quite back yet, but he’s able to function and play.”
USC is also expected to get All-American safety Taylor Mays back and that is huge in sports books odds. Mays is a great defensive player and was definitely missed last week in sports books results. USC has dropped out of the Top 10 as sports books notes but could still have a chance to make a mark in the national title race if they go unbeaten the rest of the way. Next week will be their big game as they travel to California in sports books action. That game may end up being the deciding one in the Pac-10 this online sports betting season.
