USC Football: Do Vegas Oddsmakers Think Trojans Can Stay Undefeated Vs Fighting Irish?

One of the biggest matchups on the large slate of college football games this weekend comes from South Bend, Indiana, as the USC Trojans head there to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. This historic rivalry will be renewed once again, with both teams needing a win.

Bragging rights will be on the line here, and both sides would love nothing more than to take down their rival. It will be a hostile environment for the Trojans, but a victory could be had if they play their game.

According to Action Network, the Fighting Irish are a slight favorite over the Trojans in the game this weekend. They sit at -2.5 over USC in the spread and are at -145 on the money line.

These are decent odds for anyone wanting to take the Trojans in the game. USC is more than capable of going into South Bend to win this game, but they will need to make sure they come in prepared to go.

They looked flat early against Arizona last week, which almost cost them. The Fighting Irish are a much better team, and they will make the Trojans earn everything in this matchup.

The conditions for the game seem to be wet and rainy, so the USC offense could have some trouble moving the ball down the field. The running game will need to be on point in this one; otherwise, the Trojans could be in trouble.

Notre Dame is a good rushing team, so the Trojans' defense will need to have a great game as well. They will be tasked with slowing down a solid Notre Dame offense looking to get back on track after a few down weeks.

We should be in for a great matchup, and one thing is for sure: we will understand more about how good USC is after this contest.
