Betting on College Football:\u00a0USC Trojans vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish<\/b><\/h2>\n
The USC Trojans have won five in a row over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, which makes it a big one\u00a0for the home fans at South Bend.\u00a0 This particular football rivalry between USC and ND goes back to 1926 and is considered to be one of the most important in college football. In fact, Notre Dame vs. USC games count for five of the 10 most-watched college football games in television history.<\/p>\n

Betting on the USC Trojans:<\/b><\/h4>\n
The Trojans rid themselves of long beleaguered head coach, Lane Kiffin<\/strong>, and judging from the result of their first game without him, they should have made that move earlier.<\/p>\n
Interim coach Ed Orgeron<\/strong> won his first game at the helm of Southern California\u2019s football squad when his team fended off Arizona, 38-31. Harnessing the fresh air of change, Cody Kessler<\/strong> threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns to bring the Trojans back to the winning column after getting blasted by Arizona State in Week 5, 62-41. It was the final straw for Kiffin who got fired after that loss, but at the same time also offered clues that the Trojans\u2019 defense are starting to have some cracks.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n
Ranked 42nd<\/sup> nationally in point allowed, USC have had two consecutive games wherein they gave up 31 or more points after just surrendering an average of 15.25 points in their first four games. Orgeron\u00a0\u00a0must find a way to solve his team\u2019s defensive lapses if he plans to shell the interim tag on his title and become USC\u2019s long time coach.<\/p>\n
The Trojans have been dominating their rivals recently going 8-2 SU in their last 10 games against Notre Dame, including a five-game winning streak in South Bend in their last five trips there. Against the spread on the road, USC is doing its very best to red flag themselves in the eyes of bettors. They are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games.<\/p>\n
