The marquee matchup on the Week 13 CFB slate features a Big 10 clash between the 8-2 Trojans and 9-1 Ducks Saturday at 3:30 PM ET on CBS.
SBR's Phil Wood breaks down the action in his USC vs Oregon prediction:
️USC +9.5 (-112 DraftKings)
"Both of USC’s losses were on the road by 10 or fewer points, and the Trojans led in the second half of each game. USC has recorded wins over Iowa and Michigan, while Oregon’s best victory came off a last-second field goal against Iowa. The only other ranked team the Ducks played was Indiana, and they lost 30-20 to the Hoosiers.
Oregon leads the nation while allowing only 127.3 passing yards per game. But Fernando Mendoza threw for 215 yards against the Ducks, and Maiava has recorded 234-plus yards in all but one game. Additionally, USC has allowed 21 or fewer yards in four of its last five outings. And while Oregon boasts the seventh-best scoring offense, Dante Moore and Co. have scored 21 or fewer points in three of their last five outings."
