USC @ Washington prediction: Odds, expert picks, how to watch, QB matchup, betting trends, and stats

The USC Trojans and Washington Huskies meet in a Big Ten battle of 4-4 teams. Each is looking to stay above .500 and earn a bowl bid in their first year in the Big Ten.

USC enters with a 42-20 victory over Rutgers at home on Friday night that snapped a three-game losing streak to Maryland (29-28), Penn State (33-30 OT), and Minnesota (24-17). USC is 0-3 on the road this year, but every road trip has come a week after crossing the country. This is the first time USC does not change time zones for back-to-back games all season.

The Washington Huskies have lost two straight games to fall to 4-4 and three of the last four to Rutgers (21-18), Iowa (40-16), and Indiana 31-17. Washington is 4-0 at home this season with only one win coming against a team above .500. The Huskies played on the road the last two weeks at Iowa and Indiana, so this marks the first home game since October 5.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) has the following best bets for Saturday’s matchup between Washington and USC:
“The USC Trojans got the dominant win on Friday like I expected and while this game won’t be dominant on either side, it should be exciting.

As someone who holds a Washington Under 6.5 Wins (+110) for the season, I am pulling for the Trojans here and like the -2.5 at BetMGM compared to -3 at other shops. However, there should be points in this matchup.

USC isn’t changing time zones for this road game and at 0-3 away from home this year, the Trojans could have its best offensive showing of the season after putting up 24, 17, and 28 points at Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland.

Washington is coming off two straight games at Iowa and Indiana, both beatdowns with 31 and 40 points allowed. Will Rogers and Miller Moss can both sling it, so give me the Over 55.5 as the play, but as mentioned before, I’ll be rooting for USC and think they are the right side.”
