Rutgers Season Spiraling Out Of Control

Lately, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights have been struggling mightily. They have lost three games in a row, going from 4-0 to 4-3, while dropping from 1-0 to 1-3 in Big Ten play. Rutgers' offense has almost completely vanished of late, scoring just 15.3 points per game over their last three outings. While USC has had its own share of struggles lately, Rutgers' inability to put up points with any sort of consistency is a huge issue against a USC team that can score even if it isn't great at the other phases of football.

USC Also Mired In a Cold Streak

USC is also in the midst of a three-game losing streak, dropping to 3-4 on the season and 1-4 in the Big Ten. The Trojans have lost to Minnesota, Maryland, and Michigan on the road this conference season. Meanwhile, they lost one of their two conference home games in overtime against Penn State. Despite receiving a rude welcome to the Big Ten by the rest of their conference, the Trojans do have a great chance to get back into the win column at home here against a Rutgers team that has been a complete mess of late.

Rutgers vs USC Betting Pick

Neither team in Friday's Rutgers vs USC matchup in college football has done a ton to inspire confidence with their play on the field of late. But one team does have to cover the number in this game and we think that team will be USC. The Trojans should get their offense back on track in this game, while their defense will benefit greatly from the recent woes of the Scarlet Knights. Look for USC to win this game by double-digits in front of their home crowd to get back to .500 on the season.
