USC Trojans vs. California Golden Bears Latest Betting Odds

The Southern Cal Trojans and the California Golden Bears have a meeting on Thursday when they meet at AT&T Park.

When we last saw the Berkeley bunch they looked smarter than the average Bears, holding a 1-point fi rst-half lead last Thursday at Eugene as 24-points dogs.

However, Oregon had Cal ducking for ‘non-cover’ in a 29-0 secondhalf blitz. And despite a 0-4 ATS weekday log, along with a 0-6 SU and 1-5 ATS mark in this series since 2005, we’ll give Jeff Tedford’s Jekyll-and-Hyde Bears another chance.

Yes, Lane Kiffi n has USC off to a 4-1 start, including a 48-point outburst against the Wildcats nine days ago but we refuse to lay any points on the road with daddy Monte’s stop-unit… one that has been lit up for 84 points by the state of Arizona over the past two games.

Add Kiffin’s inability to duplicate big offensive numbers (1-7 ATS after scoring 48 or more points) and Tedford’s 10-2 SU and 8-4 ATS mark at home off a SU loss of more than 7 points and it’s easy to understand why we’re not about to kick these wounded Bears.

Unlike above, we don’t need you to make the call tonight at AT&T Park in San Francisco. California, here we come.

Sportsbooks currently have the Trojans listed as 3½-point favorites versus the Golden Bears, while the game's total is sitting at 55.
