Oregon Ducks open as road favorites vs. USC Trojans
Oregon heads into hostile territory this week as slim favorites against rival USC.
The Oregon Ducks are heading into their Week 3 matchup against the USC Trojans as the road favorites. The Ducks bounced back from a dominant 84-0 win over Portland State, while USC remains undefeated this season. FanDuel Sportsbook initially had the Ducks as the underdogs in Los Angeles, but the line has moved heavily in the Ducks' favor to a two-point spread and -128 odds on the money line.
Both teams are dealing with significant injuries, which could impact the point spread. USC is hoping to get Jahkeem Stewart back from injury, while Oregon will be without key players like tight end Jamari Johnson, wideout Jeremiah McClellan, and corner Carl Williams IV. Both Oregon and USC are looking to make their mark on national title hopes and recruit Southern California. This Saturday's game is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live on NBC.
