The Trojans struggled to put away Arizona last weekend, but managed to ride an offensive explosion in the fourth quarter to pull away from the Wildcats. This week, they enter their matchup with Colorado as a 16-point favorite, but the Buffaloes shouldn't be so easily dismissed at home. We've seen USC lose a non-Saturday matchup before, and standing at 4-6, the Buffs need a win as they fight for bowl-eligibility. They should present the Trojans another strong road test.
Prediction: USC 38, Colorado 24
Both teams have been inconsistent this season, but one group's inconsistent play is a bit more encouraging than the other.
