USC vs Minnesota College Football Betting Pick For 10/5/2024
The USC Trojans will play against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on October 5, 2024, at 7:30 pm ET, with the Trojans favored by 8.5 points according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Early betting trends show 84% of spread bets favoring USC, while 16% back Minnesota. The total of 51 points has seen a balanced split, with 50% of bets on the under and the other 50% on the over. Here, we break down USC vs Minnesota and give our best bet for this college football matchup.
USC Looks For Second Straight Big Ten Win
The USC Trojans got their first conference win as a member of the Big Ten last week when they defeated the Wisconsin Badgers at home. That win moved USC to 3-1 overall on the season and 1-1 in Big Ten play. After struggling to stop the run against Michigan the game prior, USC's defense stepped up against Wisconsin, holding the Badgers under 300 yards of total offense. The Trojans will look for another big game on that side of the ball here, as they look to use this USC vs Minnesota matchup as a springboard into the top-10 in next week's rankings.
Minnesota In Big Ten Slump
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are 2-3 on the season overall and 0-2 in the Big Ten. They have lost two straight games, falling to Iowa and Michigan to start conference play. Here, Minnesota will look to take advantage of the fact that they are facing a conference opponent that isn't quite as good on defense as the Wolverines and Hawkeyes. But USC is still strong enough defensively to make this a tough game for Minnesota unless the Golden Gophers really improve their offensive execution on Saturday.
USC vs Minnesota Prediction
So far this season, Minnesota is 0-3 against power conference opponents and they have yet to score more than 24 points in any of those three games. In this USC vs Minnesota matchup, we expect that trend to continue and for Minnesota to have a tough time scoring once again. Look for the Golden Gophers to be held in check and for this game to go under the total no matter which team comes out on top in Minneapolis.
