- USC was on a bye last weekend, getting an extra week to prepare for Michigan.
- Michigan bounced back to defeat Arkansas State, winning by a score of 28-18.
- These two teams last faced off on January 1, 2007, in a game that USC won 32-18.
Michigan has struggled to repeat last season’s success following a good deal of roster turnover. They should keep this game with USC close at home, but are ultimately pretty likely to drop to 2-2 following this matchup.
Before Betting on USC vs Michigan
USC won their first two games this season by a score of 75-20. It was a good indication for the Trojans, who face offensive regression without QB Caleb Williams and need to improve defensively this year. They appear to be in much better shape on that front after shutting out Utah State, but face their first Big-10 conference competition this week. The extra week of rest could help or hurt them. The Trojans need to be wary of an upset.

Michigan’s 10-point victory over Arkansas State didn’t inspire much confidence, but it was a win nonetheless. Just how far the Wolverines have fallen since last season’s 15-0 national championship team is yet to be determined, but they have clearly regressed. While Michigan didn’t pose much of a threat to now-#1 Texas, the Trojans are a more beatable opponent. QB Davis Warren, who threw 3 INTs on Saturday, needs to be better.
USC vs Michigan Offshore Odds
These two teams haven’t faced off in 17 years, but are likely to create a brand-new rivalry in the Big-10 between two major athletic programs. USC is aiming to claim bragging rights over their new conference, by starting 1-0 against Big-10 teams. Meanwhile, Michigan is attempting to avoid collapsing in the wake of their cheating scandal and massive roster turnover. Ultimately, USC should win this matchup. We see them taking it 27-23.
