Oregon vs. USC betting prediction
The Oregon Ducks have had a balanced offensive attack, with five players averaging at least 10.0 points per game and five more averaging at least 7.2 points per game. Their defense has been key, however, as the Ducks are 2-6 when their opponent scores at least 80 points and 12-0 when they hold opponents under 80 points.
The Ducks are tied with the No. 11-ranked Arizona Wildcats for first place in Pac-12 play.
Meanwhile, the USC Trojans are last in conference play as they enter the matchup and have lost their past five games by an average of 12.6 points per game. They have averaged just 61.2 ppg during that stretch.
Look for their losing streak to continue as they lose by at least two points against one of the toughest teams in the Pac-12.
Pick: Oregon Ducks -1.5 (-110)
