Cal will visit USC late Saturday night with the latter set as heavy favorites in the Pac-12 rivalry game.
schedule this Saturday projects as a blowout in oddsmakers’ minds, with USC priced as a three-touchdown favorite over Pac-12 rival California. But let’s not write this one off just yet.
Yes, the Trojans are 7-1 entering the late-night affair, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Lincoln Riley’s group hasn’t won a game by more than 17 points since non-conference play in mid-September, and nearly lost to lowly Arizona last week after losing outright to Utah the week before. On the other side, the Golden Bears have hung around all year long. Their 18-point loss to Oregon last week was one point shy of their biggest defeat all year, and three of their other five losses came by exactly seven points. Even the margin last week is a bit of a mirage, as Cal tallied 402 yards and forced two turnovers, but couldn’t convert on third downs .New customers only. Must be 21+. AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, PA, TN, VA, WV, WY only. Full T&C apply.
