Nebraska at USC

There are some concerns with this USC team. They are 2-1, but their wins have come vs. Cal Riverside and Coppin State. In their loss, they were favored by 12 points over Loyola Marymount and lost outright by eight points. Nebraska is 3-1 on the season. They also suffered an upset loss but they were a small one-basket favorite in that one. They posted a very impressive 13 point win over TCU and they just appear to be the better team here. Over the past two seasons, the Trojans are just 9-13 straight-up when facing a team that shoots 45%+ from the field. They are also 34-47 vs. teams that give up under 65 points per game. I like Nebraska here. I also like the OVER. Nebraska has averaged just 60.7 ppg allowed and USC 59 per game. But, those numbers are biased based on the competition. Nebraska has played only two quality foes and they gave up 69 and 77 in these games. USC has played no one good yet and still gave up 67 in each of two games. Both of these offenses are going to have success here and I like this one to go OVER.
