Wisconsin vs USC Odds and Spread

 

Wisconsin vs USC Betting Keys

Can Wisconsin Badger USC?

Wisconsin will look to answer plenty of questions against USC,  but are the Badgers good enough to cover the +16 spread?

They didn’t look nearly good enough when being hammered by Alabama last week, but USC isn’t Alabama, and the Badgers play a style of football that can lend to covering big spreads.

Despite college football lines not giving them much chance, they looked good when beating Western Michigan and South Dakota to start the year. Those teams aren’t close to being ranked, but the Trojans come off a loss, and Wisconsin could capitalize.

However, this is the first road test for the Badgers, and they are always better at home. That’s our big concern when it comes to backing them at +16, and if they don’t start well, USC could pile on the points quickly.

Trojans Needing Resolve Following Loss

It’s never easy to bounce back from a loss, but they didn’t lose any admirers against Michigan last week. The 27-24 loss came as a -4½ favorite, but beating Michigan at home is easier said than done.

Our expert betting picks expect the Trojans to bounce back in fine style, and their form prior to the loss included wins over LSU and Utah State, with the latter coming by 48-0.

Quarterback Miller Moss didn’t have a great game, and he put the loss on his shoulders. However, he’s a quality player, and he will look at the Badgers’ defense and get excited.

We just didn’t settle in offensively till halfway through the second quarter… I feel like I cost our team in a big way, turning the ball over,” Moss said. “We’ll learn from it and we’ll be better.

We look at USC’s win over LSU as the best betting guide. The seven-point win was a good defensive effort and if Moss plays anywhere close to his best, he should put many touchdowns on the board.

He has 890 yards compared to 422 yards for opposing quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, and that could be a big difference in the game. USC also has a better running back with Woody Marks, who has 271 yards for three touchdowns.

The offense is superior, and being back at home helps their chances of winning and covering the spread.

 

USC Picked to Prevail

We think the Trojans played well in defeat last week, and Wisconsin could be in for a rude awakening on the road.

There is much more upside with the Trojans, who are ranked 13th in the nation, and a top 10 spot could be on the cards with a significant win over Wisconsin.

Taking -16 isn’t easy, but there is good value with the line, so lock it in. Include over 51 points in same-game parlays for a bit of value, as both teams have points in them.

 

Bet on USC -16 (-110) and Over 51 (-110)
