Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Both teams share a lot of similarities offensively, especially at QB. What I like about both teams in this game is they share a commonality with how they played vs Iowa. With this being essentially a playoff elimination game, I would expect both team to play it as such. Look for a tightly contested matchup between two teams who are surging.
This matchup just screams points. The last 10 meetings between USC and Oregon have produced at least 54 points with eight going over 60. I think we will see another high-scoring game on Saturday. The issue USC faces is it struggles to stop the run. The Trojans are allowing close to 170 rushing yards in their last three games. When the Ducks are able to run the football, it sets up everything else they do offensively and lets quarterback Dante Moore make big plays down the field. If Oregon gets the running game going early on Saturday, USC’s defense is in for a long day. I expect Oregon’s offense to have one of its best performances of the season.
