The USC Trojans have College Football Playoff hopes, but getting into a shootout with the Oregon Ducks should doom those chances. Dan Lanning is simply not someone you want to get into a high-stakes shootout with.

My USC vs. Oregon predictions and college football picks expect plenty of points in Eugene on Saturday, November 22, including some late to help the Trojans gloss up the final score. 

Our best USC vs Oregon SGP for Week 13

The USC Trojans' defense has become increasingly vulnerable against the run, allowing both Northwestern and Iowa to gain ground on the ground in recent weeks.

That should be of great concern for Lincoln Riley, about to face the best rushing offense in the country in terms of expected points added (EPA) per rush, per CFB-graphs.com.

Fortunately for Riley and the Trojans, the Oregon Ducks defense is also a bit questionable, suffering its own slight letdowns at Iowa and against Minnesota.

Neither defense can be fully trusted right now, but these are unquestionably two of the top-10 offenses in the country, both able to punish any opponent on the run or through the air.

Expect those offenses to trade successes on Saturday afternoon, making for what could be one of the most entertaining games of the season.

Even if USC is trailing by three possessions late, the Trojans can strike via explosive plays to cover a double-digit spread. And those explosives should come via quarterback Jayden Maiava, who has thrown multiple touchdown passes in seven of 10 games this season.

Douglas Farmer spends his days thinking about college football and his nights thinking about the NBA. His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds.

In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets.

While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.
