We’re in for what could be one of the most consequential Pac-12 games of the season this week when the Washington Huskies head to Los Angeles for a date with the USC Trojans. There are Pac-12 and College Football Playoff implications on the line, as the Huskies will need to win on the road in order to have the inside track on both fronts. This is a spot where the underdog is ce rtainly barking, but I’m more inclined to look toward the favorite and some player props in this contest.'
Here is my Washington vs USC Same Game Parlay for Saturday’s matchup, which will be televised starting at 7:30 pm ET on ABC. Also, be sure to check out our full Washington vs USC predictions.
One of the benefits of Same Game Parlays, of course, is that you can correlate the plays. That is some of the plan here, as a Washington team total over correlates with Ja’Lynn Polk scoring a touchdown, while we’re also getting value on our SGP by including a USC player prop as well.
Washington Huskies team total over 39.5 (-110)
I’ve already written about this game extensively this week, but most of the talk about this game has revolved around 2 things; USC’s defensive struggles and Washington’s poor last couple of performances. While a close game against a rising Arizona State team was to be expected after the Huskies knocked off Oregon the previous week, a scratchy performance against Stanford the following week was concerning. However, even with some sloppier than usual execution, Washington still put up 42 points, Penix threw for nearly 400 yards in the game and the Huskies likely win by closer to 20 points if it wasn't for a pair of red-zone turnovers in the fourth quarter. As long as Penix and this offense are operating at 75% capacity or better, it shouldn't take much to shred this USC defense.
