(NCAAF) Southern Cal vs. Notre Dame, 10/17/2015 3:30 PM, Score: 31 - 41
Point Spread: 7.00 | -110.00 Southern Cal (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the USC Trojans.

The Trojans are in a familiar spot heading into this week's game at South Bend, with an interim head coach replacing Steve Sarkasian. They fired Lane Kiffin after a 3-2 start in 2013, and then went on to win six of their next seven games. The one loss during that span came at Notre Dame by a score of 14-10. With public money fading the Trojans after the Sarkasian firing, I think there is value on the dog here.

Notre Dame has already lost several key players to injury, most notably starting quarterback Malik Zaire. They lost 49-14 at USC last year, and the Trojans piled up 577 total yards in the victory. Cody Kessler threw six TD passes in that game, and he's been pretty darn good so far this season, throwing for just shy of 1500 yards with 15 TDs and three picks in five games.

Sark was an alcoholic, who wasn't doing his job to the best of his abilities. It's highly likely that cutting him loose will only help this team that came into the season as the favorite to win the PAC12. I think the Irish will be lucky to win this game outright, never mind cover a bunch of points.

Take USC.
