Iowa vs. USC Best Bet

In a pivotal Big Ten matchup, the Trojans will look to keep their CFP hopes alive. The Trojans ranked #17 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings and will look to continue to climb against a tough Iowa squad that was a minute away from upsetting Oregon a week ago.

This is an obvious letdown spot for Iowa coming off such a devastating loss, but on the other side, this is a matchup Kirk Ferentz and co. salivate over.

Lincoln Riley teams aren't usually known for taking care of big, physical teams like Iowa that like to slow it down and can take over a game from the line of scrimmage.

Although this game is in Southern Cal., rain is in the forecast which should favor Iowa.

So, instead of attacking a tricky spread, let's take the under here. A sleepy spot for Iowa, compounded with a tough matchup on paper for the Trojans, could produce a slugfest.

Iowa vs. USC Best Bet: Under 49.5 (-105)
