The betting trend in the money line is like the point spread. With a 59.18% implied probability of winning the game, the Trojans have attracted almost 65% of the tickets and 78.67% of the dollar volume of the bets. No. 4 USC looks to secure its first-ever spot in the College Football Playoff with a win over No. 12 Utah in the Pac-12 Championship game. It won't be easy for the Trojans, though, as the Utes handed USC their lone loss (43-42) of the season on week 7.
This matchup is also decisive for Ohio State which, after losing to Michigan, dropped one place in the ranking, currently occupying 5th position. The easiest scenario to put the Buckeyes in the top four seems to be a USC loss against Utah. At BetUS, we have all kinds of props, handle numbers, and even a spokesperson to help you with the analysis.
