USC Ready For Big Ten Opener

USC is 2-0 coming into this weekend's matchup against the Michigan Wolverines. This is the first ever conference game for USC as members of the Big Ten, as they will look to get off to a good start in their new conference. To do that, the Trojans are going to need to prioritize stopping the run on defense, as Michigan has made it clear that they are looking to run the ball early and often based on the decision the Wolverines have made at the quarterback position.

Michigan Hopes QB Change Means Offensive Spark

Michigan is 2-1 coming into this USC vs Michigan matchup. The Wolverines lost their only real test of the season so far at home to the Texas Longhorns. Here, Michigan will try to beat another powerhouse program at home, but with a different starting quarterback. Alex Orji is set to start at QB for the Wolverines in this contest, which should mean more running from the quarterback position and the potential to catch USC off-balance if they can get creative with him.

USC vs Michigan Best Bet

Our best bet for USC vs Michigan is for USC to win and cover the spread on the road. While playing at the Big House is no easy task, the Michigan offense is just not built to keep up with other elite offensive teams right now. Look for USC to do enough on defense to create some separation early in this game and for the Trojans to not look back en route to a significant victory for their College Football Playoff hopes.
