Odds/Point Spread: USC Trojans -30.5, Total Odds: 66.5
Particularly in Week 0, the Spartans are skilled and knowledgeable enough to cover the spread. SJSU’s elite passing attack, which targets a USC defense with much to show in 2023, can help keep this game competitive for a while. With a slew of transfers entering the field for the first time, it is unlikely that the Trojans’ defense will be a well-oiled machine on each and every possession of the game.
In Week 0, they’ll be a little too stealthy, but they won’t be afraid to hold the Trojans accountable. USC might start off quickly and frequently, giving its backups more playing time than anticipated. Because of the favorable mix of variables, you should bet on San José State this weekend.
