Utah @ USC 9:00 PM ET Game# 305-306 Play On: USC +4.5 (5*) USC was caught in a trap game last week. They had just come off an emotional 45-20 win over Stanford in their PAC-12 opener and was set to host #10 Utah next. In between those pair of PAC-12 contests was a non-conference road game at BYU. The Trojans fell to BYU 30-27 in overtime as a closing 5.0-point favorite. USC will also be out to revenge a 48-17 blowout loss at Utah last year. Backup quarterback Kedon Slovus has more than held his own while replacing injured starter J.T. Daniels. In 2 plus games, Slovus is 58-75 (77.3%) passing while throwing for 5 touchdowns. Utah is coming off a 31-0 home win over Idaho State who plays at the FCS level. The Utes failed to cover that contest as a 36.5-point favorite. Since 2015, Utah is 0-4 SU&ATS as a conference road favorite of 7.5 or less when facing an opponent off a straight up loss by 17 points or fewer. The Utes lost those 4 contests by an average of 9.3 points per game. Any conference home underdog of 4.5 or less that’s playing in game 2 through 9 of their season, coming off an away favorite straight up loss by 3 points or more in which they failed to cover by 8.0 or more, versus an opponent (Utah) coming off a win by 31 points or fewer and they possess a win percentage of .800 or better, resulted in those home underdogs going 16-2 ATS (88.9%) since 2000. Those home underdogs also won 15 of those 18 games straight up. Bet on USC plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Ross Benjamin has made his reputation in the sports handicapping industry by being one of the sharpest prognosticators over the last 15 years. In professional sports handicapper Ron Raymond’s 2008 published book “50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets” he probably says it best. “One of the most underrated handicappers in our industry and probably one of the sharpest ones I know is Ross Benjamin.” One of Ross’ often used phrases when speaking publicly, “if you want to be a successful sports handicapper then start by thinking like a bookmaker”. Ross is 61 years old and has been directly involved in many capacities of the sports gaming industry for the last 31 years. However there is nothing he enjoys more than the challenge of picking winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball.
