USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins Final Prediction
This will be a treat for college football fans as USC travels to the Rose Bowl, home of their intrastate rivals, UCLA. The USC Trojans feel like a forgotten team nationally. The Trojans have had a sensational 2022 season thus far. Critics will look at the lack of quality wins on the USC schedule. The schedule critique is valid, but it is tough to get to 9-1, no matter who you play. USC will have an opportunity to silence their critics as they take on the Bruins and Notre Dame Fighting Irish to end the 2022 season, both of whom are in the Top 20. It hasn't always been pretty for Caleb Williams and Lincoln Riley, but we have seen some of the highest of highs from this team, and we know what they can do. Facing the Bruins in Pasadena poses quite the challenge, but some have been bullish on this USC Trojans team all season, and they are not backing off now. Take USC to win this game and advance to 10-1.
USC Trojans -2 (-105)
