USC Trojans at Arizona Wildcats Prediction
Arizona hasn't been a good bet in recent games dropping four of the last five and six of the last eight games against the spread. USC was on a roll winning five straight and four versus the line before getting blown out in two straight. The Trojans have won four of seven Pac-12 games, but three of the wins came against conference bottom feeders Washington, Washington State and Oregon State. So picking a side here is more like a coin flip. The total line though is a different story. The Wildcats play exceptional defense at home allowing 61.6 points per game and in conference play as the host Arizona has held their last four opponents to 63 points per game. USC before getting stung by UCLA had been playing acceptable defense on the road holding their previous three teams to an average of 73 points per game. Also, keep in mind that UCLA is looming on deck for Arizona, so they may take their foot off the gas.
