Moneyline Pick: USC ML
USC has been electric on offense all season long.
The style the Trojans play with will give this Iowa team issues.
The Hawkeyes are a tremendous defensive team, but they will struggle to slow down this Trojan offense, which can spread them out and beat them with its speed.
Additionally, USC holds a significant advantage in playing this game on its home field.
I expect the Trojans to dominate this contest and improve to 8-2.
Iowa Player Prop Pick: Mark Gronowski Under 11.5 Rush Attempts
The game script will support this prop.
The Hawkeyes' signal-caller will be forced to throw the football, especially in the second half, as Iowa will be playing catch-up. Mark Gronowski has failed to cash this prop in four of his last five games.
Our Action Network PRO Report projects 9.6 rush attempts.
