Here’s USC’s Over/Under Victory Total
The over/under for USC’s regular-season victory total is 7.5 according to BetOnline. That’s the same figure Betline had for USC in 2024. My first impulse is to say this is low given USC’s relatively easy schedule which includes Missouri State and Georgia Southern. I would have expected the over/under to be at least 8 or 8.5. Here are the over/under totals for the Big Ten: … Continue reading Here’s USC’s Over/Under Victory Total
