USC Trojans vs Oregon Ducks

The USC Trojans (17-6 SU, 13-10 ATS) are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games against the Oregon Ducks (14-10, 12-12) and 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings. The Trojans will look to keep things rolling with an upset win against the Ducks in Eugene, Oregon on Thursday night.

The Trojans are just 2-9 SU in their last 11 road games against the Ducks but are 6-3 ATS in the last nine at Oregon. The OVER is 10-4-1 in Oregon’s last 15 home games against USC.

Latest Betting Notes: USC

The Trojans picked up the win but failed to cover the spread as 9.5-point favorites in an 80-74 victory at home over the Washington Huskies on Saturday. Tre White scored 22 points and Kobe Johnson scored 21 as USC put together its second straight 80-point effort. USC is now 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS over its last four games.

Since going 0-3 ATS through their first three games back in December, the Trojans have been producing strong results for their backers with a 9-3 SU and ATS record over their last 12. That run includes a 3-3 SU and 4-2 ATS mark on the road.

Latest Betting Notes: Oregon

The Ducks bounced back from their blowout loss against the Arizona Wildcats with a 75-70 road win on Saturday over the Arizona State Sun Devils. Oregon had balanced scoring in the win with N’Faly Dante scoring 18 points, Keeshawn Barthelemy adding 15 and Will Richardson finishing with 14. Richardson is the Ducks’ leading scorer this season, averaging 14 points per game.

Oregon enters Thursday night with a 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS record over its last seven games, including a 3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS record as the betting favorite. The Ducks are 10-4 SU and 7-7 ATS at home this season.

The Keys to Victory: USC

USC ranks 175th in the nation on offense, averaging 72.3 points per game. The Trojans have relied on their defense to have success this year. But over their current 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS run, they have been clicking offensively, averaging 78.5 points.

Three of those four games, including USC’s impressive 77-64 upset win over the UCLA Bruins, came at home. To get the job done as an underdog against the Ducks, USC will need to continue its recent stretch of strong play in the offensive zone while facing a tough road environment in Eugene.

The Keys to Victory: Oregon

Oregon gave up 91 points in its blowout loss to the Arizona Wildcats last Thursday. In the other six games during the team’s current 5-2 SU and 4-3 ATS run, the Ducks have allowed only 65.3 points per game. That has played a large role in breaking the 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS slump that preceded this current seven-game stretch.

Since Jermaine Couisnard returned to the lineup in January, the Ducks have been playing better on offense than their season average of 70.8 points per game would indicate. Oregon could find its way to a win and cover in a high-scoring game, but putting together another shutdown effort on defense would make things a lot easier.
