The Trojans aren't known for their defense, but our USC vs. Minnesota prediction is milking one last bit of value out of this unit in Week 6.
The Trojans may be better known for their attack, but Minnesota's going to play right into the defense this weekend.
Michigan’s three explosive rushes and Wisconsin’s 18-yard touchdown drive — along with one explosive scoring pass earlier in the game — have hidden some of USC’s defensive improvement under new coordinator D’Anton Lynn. That helps us now. Coaches do not generally try to shorten games unless they feel they are wildly out-talented. P.J. Fleck is too proud for that, especially when he knows he has two of the Big Ten’s best skill players in running back Darius Taylor and receiverSo, expect Minnesota to pass right into the teeth of USC’s offense. In doing so, the Gophers will set up an efficient Trojans’ offense adept at finishing its quality drives, of which there are many.
But even with fresh numbers available, this spread jumped to -9.5 for some of Sunday and parts of Monday before stabilizing at -8 or -8.5 on Tuesday, depending on your sportsbook.
