Texas A&M Aggies vs USC Trojans Point Spread Picks

USC lost five of its last eight games in the regular season, including 49-35 to Notre Dame in the finale while not covering as a 7-point underdog. The Trojans are getting only four points against Texas A&M, which has won eight of its past 11, and its last two losses were in four overtimes against Auburn and by 10 points to playoff-bound Texas. USC has lost 14 of 16 straight up as an underdog and is 3-9 ATS its past 12 December games. The Trojans have lost at least 15 players to the transfer portal, including wide receiver Zachariah Branch and backup QB Miller Moss, who lost his starting job to Jayden Maiava, the only QB left. Quinten Joyner also ran back and entered the portal with 478 yards of rushing and 7.6 yards per carry. The Aggies still have QB Marcel Reed, who completed 61.1 percent of his passes for 1,572 yards and 12 TDs with four picks. Reed excelled in the Texas Bowl last year when he entered for the injured starter on the game's first play. He finished 20 of 33 for 361 yards against Oklahoma State. Texas A&M has stayed UNDER four of its past five against the Big Ten, and it has allowed 17 points per game in its past three games in regulation time. USC has gone UNDER in its past four games.
