After losing to Washington by one point last week, the betting public is officially off the USC bandwagon. According to Sports Insights’ Betting Trends data, USC is receiving only 28% of spread bets and 38% of moneyline wagers. Saturday’s opponent, Stanford, opened as a 7-point favorite at CRIS and the lopsided betting has pushed the line up to -10. USC, as a double-digit underdog, is uncharted territory for anyone who followed this program through the Pete Carroll years, however, we have yet to see much buy-back in this game.
The following table shows the breakdown of spread betting percentages from our six contributing sportsbooks:
| Team | # Bets | Sportsbook | SIA | BetUS | 5Dimes | Carib | WagerWeb |
| USC | 22046 | 21% | 28% | 37% | 35% | 26% | 17% |
| Stanford | 79% | 72% | 63% | 65% | 74% | 83% |
