UCLA and USC close the regular season with one of college football’s premier rivalries. Entering the showdown, the Trojans hold a commanding 54-31-7 lead all time. They’re looking to build on last season’s 19–13 win in Pasadena, a slugfest where neither team could separate much.
According to BetMGM Sportsbook, No. 19 USC is a 21.5-point home favorite over UCLA, with the over-under set at 60.5 total points.
Moreover, USC enters with major motivation, trying to keep momentum while preventing the Bruins from stealing a rivalry upset to end the year. Lincoln Riley has led a bit of a resurgence in Los Angeles, but the Trojans’ offensive balance will be tested by a UCLA team that has improved as the season progressed after firing DeShaun Foster.
Meanwhile, UCLA is searching for redemption after stabilizing a bit of a rollercoaster season. Interim head coach Tim Skipper and play-caller Jerry Neuheisel have been paramount to their success, but the Bruins will need strong quarterback play and a clean performance to challenge USC in the Coliseum, and finish their regular season on a high note.
As we all know, rivalry games often defy expectations, especially between teams as familiar as these two. With bragging rights and postseason positioning all on the line, this matchup promises intensity from the opening kickoff in Los Angeles. We’ll see who comes out on top.
