College Football Predictions: Beanie Wells doubtful for Ohio State vs USC; Betting Line, USC by 11 (47 Total); Television ABC; Kickoff Sep.13, 8:05 PM ET; Los Angeles Coliseum, Los Angeles, Calif., Betting odds provided by SBGglobal.com
The signature game of College Football Week-3 is top-ranked Southern Cal hosting No. 5 Ohio State. The hype machine for this game started cranking the moment last season ended; however, some of the luster surrounding the game came off following Ohio State’s struggling with Ohio University in Week-2 and Thursday's announcement that star running back Beanie Wells would miss the game.
The Buckeyes needed a fourth quarter rally to beat Ohio 26-14. The Trojans opened with a convincing 52-7 beat-down of Virginia on the road. USC easily covered the 20 1/2 favorites chalk against the Cavaliers. Online sportsbook SBGglobal.com has USC favored in this game by a 11- point chalk with a 47 1/2 total.
“This double-digit line has absolutely been influenced by the Buckeye’s struggling last week,” said Point-Spreads.com handicapper Reno Gold. “Had the Buckeyes pounded the Bobcats into oblivion in Week-2, we would have about a 3 ½-point line favoring USC.”
Point-Spreads.com prediction: Ohio State is losing its reputation as a national power and needs a win or at least a solid showing to quell those beliefs. While it will be difficult for OSU to win SU in the LA Coliseum, we think they could give the Trojans problems.
