The USC Trojans are just 2-5 straight up and against the spread over their last seven games against the Stanford Cardinal. The Trojans will try to turn their luck around against their Pac-12 rivals on Saturday visiting Stanford as a 3.5-point road underdog midweek for this crucial afternoon clash.
Week 2 college football opening lines and spread trends
Failure to cover big spreads were a common theme in the first weekend of college football. We’ll see what Week 2 has in store.
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Stanford is a perfect 17-0 SU over its last 17 games at home. USC is 6-5 SU and 2-9 ATS over its last 11 games on the road, but is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS over its last three.
The only other game featuring two ranked teams this weekend features two of the nation's top 10, as the Michigan State Spartans visit the Oregon Ducks. Oregon is 28-2 SU over its last 30 home games and is currently riding an eight-game home winning streak.
Oregon is 7-5 ATS over its last 12 home games but just 1-4 ATS over its last five. Michigan State is 11-2 SU and 11-1-1 ATS in its last 13 games away from home.
The Oklahoma Sooners are likely to be a popular bet on Saturday going off at -24.5 visiting the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Oklahoma is 7-0 SU and 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven games against Tulsa, beating the Golden Hurricane by an average margin of victory of 37.3 points per game over that stretch. Tulsa is just 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS in its last six home games.
Florida State did not look sharp in a 37-31 win over Oklahoma State last week, and neither did Alabama in a 33-23 win over West Virginia. Both teams will look to work the kinks out in tuneup games this week as Florida State hosts the Citadel and Alabama is a 40.5-point favorite hosting Florida Atlantic.
South Carolina will try to bounce back from last week’s disastrous blowout loss at home to Texas A&M as a 13.5-point home favorite against East Carolina on Saturday. East Carolina is just 2-5 SU and ATS in its last seven games as a road underdog.
