Eastern Washington at USC picks and predictions
Prediction
USC 85, Eastern Washington 69
Moneyline
PASS. The juice drowns out any leverage pricing for a likable underdog,
Against the spread
EWU is 3-1 ATS across its last 4 lines games; USC is 1-3 ATS over its last 4. The Trojans are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games when favored by 10 points or more.
Eastern Washington has some size, and USC's early-season post defense has not been great. The Eagles shoot a lot of 3s and can stay within a couple touchdowns for much of this game. A bit of projectable 3-point regression for USC, and EWU is a decent value in this contest. Southern Cal could be caught looking ahead to its Saturday opponent, No. 10 Gonzaga.
BACK THE EAGLES +17.5 (-102).

Over/Under
STEER CLEAR.
Expect a quick pace with a decent number of turnovers all around, a lot of USC free throws and a lot of EWU 3s. The total here is solid.
