USC Trojans vs. Illinois Fighting Illini Best Bet

In college football, it's best to take week-to-week results with a grain of salt and try not overreact too much from what happened the week prior.

Illinois will put that to the test after being beaten down by Indiana just a week ago, 63-10, in Bloomington.

We eyed Indiana on the spread in that one - now let's target the Illini in this juicy bounce-back spot.

For the Trojans, this will be their first big test of the season. After beating up on Michigan State with an 11pm kickoff in LA, they now have to take on a laser-focused Illinois squad coming off an embarrassing loss.

This feels like way too many points for an Illinois team that was viewed as a consensus top-10 team that had legitimate CFP hopes just as recently as a week ago.
