College Football Week 13 Betting Report: 'This is USC’s Super Bowl'

When Oklahoma vs. Alabama and Texas vs. Georgia are on the menu, bettors’ appetites are plenty large by midweek and ravenous by Saturday. 

But what about when there’s no real marquee matchup?

Well, at some point, one game evolves to that level. In the case of college football Week 13 odds, that game could be USC vs. Oregon.

"It’s weird to say it, but USC-Oregon might be the Game of the Week," Caesars Sports head of football trading Joey Feazel said.

And at second blush, it is a good game. There’s plenty on the line for both teams.

Bookmakers and sharp bettors offer their insights on that matchup and more, as we dive into this week’s college football betting nuggets.

Pac-12, er, Big Ten Showdown

You can forgive people who see USC vs. Oregon and think: "What a great Pac-12 matchup this late in the season." It’s still hard to get used to these two teams battling in the Big Ten instead.

But that’s the case in Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. And while the seventh-ranked Ducks are firmly in the CFP picture, it’s worth reminding that the No. 15 Trojans also have a CFP path.

Oregon is 9-1 straight up (SU) and 5-4-1 against the spread (ATS), while Southern Cal is 8-2 SU/5-5 ATS. Caesars Sports opened the Ducks as 9.5-point home favorites, and the line went to -10 on Monday, then Tuesday returned to -9.5, where it remained Wednesday night.
