USC vs. Stanford: Betting odds, picks, lines and predictions

LA Times  

USC quarterback Caleb Williams runs during during a blowout win over Rice at the Coliseum on Sept. 3. Coach Lincoln Riley’s debut was a resounding success and Caleb Williams — the quarterback he brought with him from Oklahoma — was an efficient 19 for 22 for 249 yards and two touchdowns to junior wide receiver Jordan Addison. Williams probably could have padded his stats even more like other star quarterbacks if the defense hadn’t taken so many interceptions to the house, though they thrilled the 60,000 fans at the Coliseum. The Cardinal is coming off a disappointing 3-9 season, but remember that it beat USC 42-28, so even with the Riley-Williams upgrade, we don’t think there’s that much difference between the two teams to warrant the Trojans being favored by more than a touchdown on the road. On Sunday, the Circa sportsbook in downtown Las Vegas opened USC -12 and early sharp bettors also thought that was too high and pounded it down to 10½ within nine minutes and then to single digits in the next few hours.
