Penn State-USC Total Looks Strong
USC has allowed 25.5 points per game this season and 27.1 points per game outside the Pacific time zone since 2024. The Trojans have permitted around 31 points per game on the road over the past four years. Penn State has not faced a top-40 passing offense yet, while USC ranks near the bottom nationally in coverage and tackling. Both teams are expected to move the ball through the air, supporting the over.
Arizona State Not Trusted to Cover Large Spread
Arizona State converts just 25 percent of third downs, the 10th-lowest mark, and ranks seventh in fourth-down attempts. The Sun Devils have scored 21 points per game against FBS opponents. Hawaii has not lost by more than 17 points this season and scored 20 fourth-quarter points at Stanford. Arizona State also carries a minus-four turnover margin, raising concerns about laying a large number.
