Nebraska will travel to the West Coast to face USC? After four losses in a row, will the Trojans protect their homecourt?

|---|---|
| USC Trojans | +6.5 (-110) |
| Nebraska Cornhuskers | -6.5 (-110) |
Nebraska is 24-4 overall, 13-4 in conference play, and 12th in the AP Poll. After starting the year 20-0, they have made a statement they are the real deal. Expect to see the Cornhuskers around a 3 seed in March. For More March Madness Betting Odds and Predictions, see the Full Hub".
Nebraska has a complete roster, but its defense is truly elite. They are top ten among multiple defensive metrics and can shut teams out into victories. Can their elite defense travel to Cali?
USC is 18-10 overall, 7-10 in Big 10 play. It has been an up-and-down year for the Trojans. They will need an autobid if they want to go dancing this March.
USC has reached a recent wall in form. They have lost four of their last five games and have been dropping down the Big 10 standings. After a loss to UCLA, morale is at a low. Can they turn their tides against Nebraska?
Nebraska vs USC will be all about whether Nebraska can cover. Nebraska is the better team, but the line is pretty hefty. USC hasn't covered four of its last five. We think that Nebraska's defense will shut them out and they will be able to open up the game. Our pick is Nebraska ATS (-6.5).
