CFB | Utah 47 @ USC 24 | 12/03 | 1:00 AM UTC
Utah +3
WIN
ANALYSIS: The Trojans have been better than advertised in their first year under Lincoln Riley, with an 11-1 mark and a win in Friday's Pac-12 title game away from an appearance in the CFP. The lone blemish on their record came by one point on the road against Utah, which arguably underachieved relative to expectations. The Utes were knocked out of the CFP picture for good two weeks ago when they failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities in a 20-17 loss at Oregon, and they were also outplayed at UCLA. Even so, a full-strength Utah club is a difficult matchup for USC and the value lies in taking the points in what could be the first chapter in a weekend of potential chaos.
