USC Trojans at California Golden Bears Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
USC’s name speaks for itself. The Trojans have been regarded as one of 2017’s trendiest plays and selections for both the Pac 12 title and a College Football Playoff berth. So far, the Men of Troy have had their hands full on several occasions. First, the Trojans had a difficult time fending off visiting Western Michigan in their opening game in Los Angeles. Despite the final score, the Broncos were a pest that USC couldn’t get rid of until the fourth quarter. The Trojans failed to cover a lofty line in that market. A similar situation unfolded when USC required overtime to be rid of a Texas squad that closed as a 15.5-point pooch.

<p>
For California, the opposite has been the case. The Golden Bears are coming in off an impressive 27-16 victory against the Mississippi Rebels in Berkeley, last week. Perhaps the most eye-raising triumph for the Golden Bears in 2017 was their 35-30 win at North Carolina on Labor Day weekend where the Bears closed as a 12.5-point road pup.
