Key Trends

• Trojans are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
• Trojans are 0-4-2 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
• Golden Bears are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss.
• Golden Bears are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
• Golden Bears are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.

Analysis: USC has lost three of its last four outings, including a dismal 61-51 home loss to Oregon on Saturday while failing to cover the college basketball sports betting lines as an 8-point home favorite no less.

The Trojans are 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games and a pitiful 1-6-2 against the NCAAB sports betting lines over its last nine games.

California has lost three consecutive games and is coming off a 75-71 loss to Washington on Saturday but somehow managed to cash in against the college hoops sports betting lines as a 6.5-point road underdog to move to a discouraging 1-3-1 ATS over its L/5 games.

Prediction: Just prior to dropping their last three games, California had reeled off a season-best four-game SU winning streak and have compiled a respectable 4-2 SU mark in its six home conference games this season and 9-5 SU home mark overall.

USC owns the best defense in the Pac-10 this season, but they’ve also been held to 51 points or less in two of their last three games while scoring 67 points or less in eight of their last 10 games overall.

California has won two of the last three meetings against their conference counterparts and handed USC a 68-66 loss on Jan. 22, to cash in against the college basketball sports betting lines as a 7.5-point road underdog and I like them to pull off the regular season weep by handling the Golden Bears again in this contest.

USC has gone 0-4-1 against the NCAAB sports betting lines in their last five road games while the Cal Golden Bears have gone 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games versus a team with a winning SU record and I like them to pull off the SU and narrow ATS win tonight!

NCAAB Pick: California Golden Bears -2 Points
