How to play the total when the Trojans take on the Utes.
Caleb Williams and USC were embarrassed last week against Notre Dame.
Not only did the Trojans lose by four touchdowns, but Williams threw a trio of interceptions and the offense scored just 20 points – its lowest output of the season.
I’m expecting the Trojans to bounce back in a big way and am betting Utah vs. USC to go over the 56-point total.
All seven of USC’s games this season have gone over this number.
Additionally, the Trojans will want revenge against a Utah team they lost to twice last season, including once in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
Yes, there were different players on the field, but for what it’s worth, both of those games also went over 56 points.
USC’s offense, especially at home, isn’t going to turn the ball over five times again.
The Utes have the best defense USC has played this season, but the Trojans’ offense simply has too much firepower to be shut down in back-to-back weeks.
Despite his struggles against Notre Dame, Williams was responsible for at least four touchdowns in each of USC’s other six games.
