My best Michigan vs. USC anytime touchdown scorer predictions focus on Justice Haynes, Lake McRee, and Donaven McCulley, ahead of tonight's 7:30 p.m. ET (NBC) game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles. USC is favored by 2.5.

Both of these teams are good at keeping opponents’ running backs out of the end zone, but one of my best college football picks for this game still includes Michigan’s Haynes, who is one of the best backs in the nation. Read on for other mismatches that make up my college football predictions for Week 7.

💰 Best Michigan vs. USC touchdown scorer bets

Our college football player prop odds tool shows the best odds for every market across legal sportsbooks in your area.

🔥 Justice Haynes 2+ touchdowns (+250) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Haynes is tied for fourth in the nation with eight rushing touchdowns, so it’s no surprise there’s little value (-190) in taking him to score once. He’s rushed for at least 100 yards and one touchdown in every game this season.

USC’s run defense has been solid, allowing just three rushing touchdowns this season. But the Trojans have yet to face a team as committed to the run as Michigan. Michigan is averaging 3.4 rushing touchdowns per game and 37.2 rush attempts compared to 26.2 pass attempts per contest.

Haynes already has three rushing touchdowns of at least 50 yards. And considering he’s averaging 7.7 yards per carry, I don’t see USC slowing him down for 60 minutes, no matter how good their run defense has been.

The price of +250 implies a 28.57% chance that Haynes scores twice. A $10 bet would pay $25.


🔥 Lake McRee to score anytime TD (+290) ⭐⭐⭐

McRee is USC’s third-leading receiver, with 12 catches and 248 yards. While he has just one touchdown this season, he finds himself in a solid matchup today.

Michigan has only allowed six touchdown passes this season. However, three of those touchdowns were scored by tight ends. While McRee will need to compete with fellow tight end Walker Lyons, who has two touchdowns this season, McRee has been the much more effective option all over the field. He has just two more catches than Lyons but 141 more yards, making him dangerous even outside of the red zone.

The price of +290 at DraftKings implies a 25.64% chance that McRee scores. A $10 bet would pay $29, much better than the $21 you would get for the same wager at other best sports betting sites.


🔥 Donaven McCulley to score anytime TD (+300) ⭐⭐⭐

McCulley has caught one of three touchdown passes for Michigan this season. That score came in last week’s game against Wisconsin, when he set season highs in receptions (6) and yards (112).

McCulley leads Michigan in receptions and yards, totalling 122 more yards than any other Michigan wide receiver. And while Michigan doesn’t throw much, USC is allowing 2.2 passing touchdowns per game, so there will be opportunities for Bryce Underwood and the passing attack. McCulley is the focal point of that attack, so with a price of +300, this is one of the most valuable Michigan vs. USC anytime touchdown scorer predictions.

The price of +300 at BetMGM implies a 25% chance that McCulley scores. A $10 bet would pay $30.
