In a projected points-fest with a sky-high total of 75, this spot might be insufficient for an underdog if both sides were at full strength. But USC’s Jordan Addison, perhaps the premier receiver in FBS, likely will be shelved with an injury. The Trojans might be minus a linebacker or two, as well. Though Arizona ranks a middling 55th in points scored, its offense is 25th in yardage. It should keep the Trojans’ offense on the sideline long enough to stay within range.

Wow, 76 points. I mean, all we need is each team with two defensive stops (or a turnover, etc.) and we're probably going to hit this Under. I think the final here is something like USC 41, Arizona 27.

The Trojans have had two weeks to prepare for a Wildcats team that has lost two straight games and given up 49 points in each of those two losses. The last time I checked, the Trojans offense is as explosive as any in the country. The Trojans are 5-2 against the spread this year, and have transformed turnovers into points on a consistent basis. That doesn't bode well for the Wildcats.
