The game against the Trojans seems to fit the criteria. OBD have beaten the Trojans 7 of the last 10 times they've played, 4 of the last 5. This time the game comes between a tussle with the Golden Gophers on a Friday night, and a trip up North to take on the mangy mutts.

I’d say no.

That game is late enough in the year that USC will either be riding high or about to dump their coach. If they’re 9-1 they’ll be in the top-10 and have our attention, if they’re 6-4 they’ll be discussing hiring Nick Saban and in the tank.

It is like playing the Huskies...their win/loss record doesn't matter. You can't beat them often enough, or by enough points...

SUC is trapped in their own delusions of grandeur. They have assembled a mercenary roster similar to the one AnM bought a few years back. With an over rated Riley in charge, I expect similar results.

NO! The week before SC, Week 12, versus Minnesota has trap potential—a Friday night game after playing at Iowa, and with the Gophers not playing in Week 11.

This is the only B1G hiccup in a very favorable 2025 schedule.

Everyone gets up for the Trojans, even if Troy is down. The next week closes the regular season at UW, but I don't think there's a chance that OBD overlooks SC.

I think over 7.5 wins at -118 for Troy is a very good bet. USC was 1-5 in one-score games in 2024.

I also think UW will go over 7.5 wins. Greg McElroy disagrees. To date, Jedd Fisch is undefeated in Husky Stadium. I think UW loses at home to Ohio State and OBD, but defeats Illinois in Seattle.

I think that Minnesota will go over 4.5 wins. The Gophers finished 8-5 in 2024-25 with a solid bowl win, 24-10, over VA Tech in Charlotte.

This is the Greg McElroy that told us he knew a guy who knew a guy that is sure there's a chance that Saban might not be done with coaching. Go with the Over.
