The No. 5 Arizona Wildcats (24-6, 15-4 Pac-12) take on the USC Trojans (13-17, 7-12) Saturday at Galen Center. Tip is set for 10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. USC odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wildcats, No. 5 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, have won 10 of 11 after an 88-65 can-opening on UCLA Thursday. G Caleb Love had 17 points as he reached double figures for the 27th consecutive game. The senior from St. Louis is averaging a career-high 36.1% shooting from beyond the arc. He had 20 in the 82-67 victory over USC Jan. 17.

Southern Cal has won 2 in a row but failed to cover as a 9.5-point favorite in its 81-73 victory over Arizona State Thursday. G Boogie Ellis went off for 28 points in the W, and he has dropped 24+ in 3 of 5. Ellis missed the previous matchup with Arizona in January, but he had 35 against them last year.

Arizona at USC picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 82, USC 73

Moneyline

I’m picking Arizona, but it’s far too expensive to consider on the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

USC is 8-6 at home but just 3-9 on the road this year. With Ellis ballin’ out of control right now, I like him to keep the Trojans in it. USC covered as a 21-point dog in the 1st meeting without Ellis, and I like him to keep it within single digits.

Take USC +9.5 (-120).

Over/Under

USC is 7-3 O/U over the last 10, and Arizona is 5-5. The Over is 6-4 in the last 10 meetings with the Under 158.5 cashing earlier this season. Arizona is just 16-14 O/U this season, and it’s good for 80 points. But I’m projecting this to fall a little short here.

LEAN UNDER 159.5 (-110).

The Arizona Wildcats (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) visit the No. 9 USC Trojans (5-0, 3-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. USC odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Arizona fell 31-24 at home against Washington last week but covered as a 20-point underdog. QB Noah Fifita went 27 of 39 for 232 yards with 3 touchdowns and an interception. His favorite target was WR Jacob Cowing, who had 9 receptions for 70 yards and a TD, while WR Tetairoa McMillan finished with 6 catches for 45 yards and 2 scores. Arizona’s defense had no answers for Heisman Trophy candidate and Washington QB Michael Penix Jr., who threw for 363 yards on 30-of-40 attempts.

USC took down Colorado 48-41 last week but failed to cover as a 22.5-point road favorite. QB Caleb Williams went 30 of 40 for 403 yards and 6 TDs with an INT in the victory. Last season’s Heisman winner spread it around as 5 different Trojans caught TDs with WR Brenden Rice (5 receptions, 81 yards) hauling in 2. The Trojans led by as many as 27 at one point — 48-21 late in the 3rd quarter — before yielding 20 unanswered points before thwarting Buffaloes’ comeback.

Arizona at USC picks and predictions

Prediction

USC 52, Arizona 24

Moneyline

PASS.

USC (-2000) has been rolling this season and will more than likely continue that dominance Saturday. However, at -2000 odds, there is no value and absolutely no reason to put anything on the moneyline.

Against the spread

LEAN USC -21 (-110).

Williams and USC have looked phenomenal through this first chunk of the season, averaging 555.0 yards of offense. While the Trojans only beat the Buffaloes by 7 points last week, USC had multiple leads of 21 or more. Giving credit to Colorado, it was able to claw its way back into that game, but this week, Arizona will be unable to keep up.

Over/Under

BET OVER 71.5 (-110).

The Trojans have eclipsed 72 points in 3 of their 5 games and have scored at least 42 points in each. Arizona has scored at least 24 points in 4 of its 5 games.

While the burden will most likely fall on USC in order to hit this Over, its offense has shown that it is more than capable of doing so, especially in front of its home fans. The Trojans have scored at least 56 points in each of their 3 home games this season.

Arizona at USC odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Arizona at USC odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 9 Arizona Wildcats (24-5, 13-5 Pac-12) will square off against the USC Trojans (21-8, 13-5) on Thursday at Galen Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Arizona vs. USC odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

The Wildcats were unable to cover as 12.5-point home favorites in their 89-88 loss to Arizona State on Saturday. Arizona went 8-2 in its last 10 games and has the 2nd-best record in the Pac-12.

The Trojans beat Utah 62-49 on Saturday to cover as 2-point road favorites. USC is on a 4-game win streak and has won 8 of its last 10 contests.

This will be the second meeting between Arizona and USC this season. The Wildcats cruised to an 81-66 victory as 8-point home favorites and the Under (152.5) connected on Jan. 19.

Arizona at USC picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 79, USC 73

Moneyline

BET ARIZONA (-140).

I wouldn’t bet the Wildcats any steeper than -150 in this road tilt, but they are the better team and should win by margin.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

BET ARIZONA -2.5 (-105).

The Wildcats and Trojans are tied in Pac-12 action, but Arizona should be able to pull ahead Thursday. USC is overly reliant on G Boogie Ellis and G Drew Peterson, making it easier for Arizona to defend.

Over/Under

UNDER 154.5 (-105) is the lean in this matchup despite some Pac-12 games being high-scoring. Arizona scored 81 points in the first meeting and the Under still hit.

Arizona at USC odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Arizona at USC odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 3 Arizona Wildcats (25-3, 15-2 Pac-12) head west to face the No. 16 USC Trojans (25-4, 14-4) at Galen Center in Los Angeles Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 11 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we look at the Arizona vs. USC odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Wildcats can clinch the Pac-12 regular-season title with a road victory against the Trojans. If Arizona wants to get it done, it will need to play much better than last time out when it was blown out 79-63 at Colorado Saturday.

The Trojans are looking for redemption after a 72-63 setback against the Wildcats Feb. 5. USC has been surging since that defeat with impressive wins against Oregon and UCLA during a six-game win streak.

Arizona at USC odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 73, USC 69

Money line

While USC has been rolling lately, Arizona (-210) picked them off in Tucson rather easily in the first meeting last month. However, laying over two times your potential return on a road team in a potentially close game is risky business.

PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The lean is to USC +4.5 (-110), but play it super lightly.

The underdog has cashed in six consecutive meetings in this series, and USC has held its own with six covers in the past seven meetings in this series. However, the Trojans are facing a Wildcats team playing to lock up the conference title and keep itself front and center for the one line in the NCAA Tournament.

Over/Under

The UNDER 149.5 (-108) is the play here.

USC has posted a 5-0-1 mark to the Under as an underdog while going 4-1 in the past five as a home underdog. Arizona has also hit the Under at a 7-4 rate across its last 11 games, including the first meeting with USC.
