Betting on the Utah Utes
- Regular season record: 9-3
- DraftKings Spread: +3
- BetMGM Moneyline: +125
- Over/Under: 67
The Utah Utes went through three losses in 12 games played, the first one was in their debut against the Florida Gators by 29-26, the second one against UCLA by 42-32, and the last and most recent one against Oregon by 20-17. They managed to recover and won 63-21 against Colorado last week, which will undoubtedly help them regain confidence before the Championship game.
They are in second place in the Pacific-12 (South) thanks to their nine wins. Their defensive work is what stands out so far, as they are the team that conceded the fewest points in their zone with only 241.
Betting on the USC Trojans
- Regular season record: 11-1
- DraftKings Spread: -3
- BetMGM Moneyline: -150
- Over/Under: 67
The USC Trojans have done a nearly flawless job this season and have 11 wins and only one loss in 12 games. Precisely that one loss was to Utah Utes by 43-42 last October 15, so this game can be taken as the perfect revenge.
The Trojans now have five straight wins, with the most recent coming against Notre Dame 38-27 last weekend. Their best weapon has been their offense, and they are the highest scoring team in the Pacific-12 Conference with 510 points. In general terms, it has been the best team in its zone and will only seek to confirm it in this duel.
JefeBet Prediction
This is the acid test for these teams, and only one can come out on top. Utah wants to repeat what it did when they met in October, and will try to keep its defense on its toes to stop the Trojans’ high-powered offense.
Both are balanced teams, but this time everything points to USC as the winner, as they have a stronger current situation and an extra motivation to avenge their only loss of the campaign.
Prediction: USC wins and Under.
