Colorado at USC

Unbeaten Colorado is getting no respect with this betting number. Colorado's defense is #18 in the country in points allowed, while the Buffaloes have a potent, balanced offense behind QB Steven Montez (11 TDs, two picks) and RBs Travon McMillian and Beau Bisharat, both averaging over 6.2 yards per carry. They've been an underdog just once and won 33-28 at Nebraska. They face a Southern California defense that struggled last season and has similar problems, allowing 37 points to Texas and 36 to Washington State. The Trojans are #63 in the nation in points allowed and #71 in rushing defense, surrendering 163.2 yards on the ground per contest. USC struggled to contain Washington State's passing offense and nearly allowed Arizona to come back from a 24-point halftime deficit. The Trojans are on a 5-15-1 spread run, as well as 17-36-1 ATS following a straight up victory. Play Colorado.
