USC vs. Notre Dame Best Bet

USC has one of the best offenses in college football. They are currently rated #1 in EPA/pass and #4 in EPA/rush. They are top 5 in both early-downs EPA/play and late-down success rate. This offense will be going against a Notre Dame defense that is half as strong as they were last season.

USC also has the #1 rated safety in the country according to PFF, Bishop Fitzgerald. USC's offensive line did not allow a sack against Michigan last week (one of the strongest pass-rush units in the country). I think USC wins this game and knocks Notre Dame out of playoff contention.

USC vs. Notre Dame Best Bet: USC Trojans +9.5 (-105)
