Oregon 78, USC 73
Moneyline
PASS.
USC has lost 5 straight games. Don't expect it to snap out of its funk here. Oregon (-142) has faltered as of late but has won its 1st 5 conference games and 6 of 9. However, at -142, the value is on the spread, not moneyline.
Against the spread
LEAN OREGON -2.5 (-110).
USC is struggling. It has not scored more than 67 points since Jan. 6. In that span, it put up 64 losing to Washington State by 8 at home and put up 50 losing to UCLA by 15. The Trojans are 2-3 ATS over their last 5 games. Oregon is 4-3 ATS over its last 7 and 3-1 ATS on the road over its last 4 games.
The Ducks have been solid for bettors, posting a 12-8 ATS record this season. They have 7 players averaging 8 or more points, while USC has 3. The consistency and variety in their offense makes the Ducks the better play. Take OREGON -2.5 (-110).
