2017 Free College Football Picks Week 8 – #11 USC @ #13 Notre Dame Odds & Free Pick 10/21/17

The USC Trojans come into this week with an overall record of 6-1 and 1-6 against the spread. The Trojans won a close one last Saturday at home by a score of 28-27 against the Utah Utes as a -13 point favorite.

The Trojans are led by sophomore quarterback Sam Darnold who was projected to be the top overall pick in the next year’s NFL Draft before the season began. However, the sophomore has struggled a little bit this season and has tossed only 15 touchdowns to go against 9 interceptions thru the first 7 games. USC’s offense is 35th in the nation in scoring at 34.4 points per game but that’s a far cry from the top overall offense that many projected them to be before the season started.

The Trojans defense has been solid thru 7 games and is a big reason why the Trojans have only lost one game so far. The defense ranks 50th in the country in points allowed at 23.7 points per game.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish come into this game with a 5-1 overall record and 5-1 against the spread. The Fighting Irish are coming off a 33-10 win at North Carolina last Saturday as a -13 point favorite.

The Fighting Irish have done a great job rebounding from last season’s terrible 4-8 season. The offense has been great and comes in ranked 16th in the nation in scoring at 40 points per game. The defense has been just as good, if not better, as it ranks 15th in the nation in points allowed at 16.8 points per game.

Notre Dame has been one of the most well balanced teams in the nation so far this season and already has a significant win under their belts with a 38-18 blowout win at Michigan State. The Fighting Irish also proved they can hang with the best in the nation as they lost 20-19 against 3rd ranked Georgia at home in a game that they could have won.

Who are we betting on to cover the spread in the #11 USC @ #13 Notre Dame game? We feel Notre Dame is the better team this season and they are playing great football at the moment coming in on a 4 game winning streak. USC’s Darnold simply hasn’t lived up to the hype this season so far and we don’t expect him to start against a stout Notre Dame defense this week on the road. Bet on Notre Dame to cover as a -4 point favorite at Bovada Sportsbook.
