Washington is an amazing Over team, having cleared the total in 11 of the past 12 games, but I think USC's improved defense, which has helped the team win five straight, will keep this lower-scoring. The Trojans have stayed Under in all five of those wins. They're transformed.

This USC team does not resemble the one we saw in Week 1 against Alabama. QB Sam Darnold has been the spark that has lit this offense. But the Trojans are facing a team trying to stay in the top four for the College Football Playoff. Washington is built both stylistically and philosophically like Alabama, and I like the Huskies to win by double digits.

The Under has cashed easily in the past two meetings and is 6-1-1 in the past eight. USC is playing incredible defense, having allowed an average of 19 points over its past five games -- all Pac-12 contests. Washington ranks 11th nationally in scoring defense (17 ppg).
