Since coming to USC, Lincoln Riley's Trojans are 9-9 on the road straight up. That includes a mark of 2-6 in the Big Ten, and 6-12 ATS. As road favorites, they're 3-11. They've lost to teams like Minnesota and Maryland, they can lose to Nebraska too.

It's USC on the road...you know what to do. Lincoln Riley simply doesn't cover in these games. Dating back to last year, USC has only covered the spread twice, including by a point against UCLA in 2024 and half a point from the finishing line vs. Notre Dame. If you bet those at the wrong times, you might be o-fer betting the Trojans. I think they'll rally for a win in Lincoln but would hardly be surprised if they don't. USC 28, Nebraska 24.
