College Football Predictions and Picks
\nSan Jose State at USC
\nUSC -38.5 (-108)<\/a><\/p>\n

USC’s own alt-total yardage market pricing a 542.5-yard team total at even odds tells the story here \u2014 this is a genuine talent gap the market has priced with real conviction, not a number worth fading.<\/p>\n

Over 61.5 (-110)<\/a><\/p>\n

A near-40-point spread paired with a total over 60 tells you the market expects USC to produce even while winning comfortably, not a defensive stalemate that just happens to be lopsided.<\/p>\n

Jayden Maiava 3+ Passing Touchdowns (-144)<\/a><\/p>\n

Maiava’s own line sits near 285 passing yards, and with a receiving corps this deep sharing the workload, three touchdown passes is a very reasonable ask in a game USC is expected to control from the opening drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"College Football Betting Picks in Summary USC -38.5 Over 61.5 Jayden Maiava 3+ Passing Touchdowns San Jose State…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":447340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[88,90,89],"class_list":["post-447339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=447339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/447339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/447340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=447339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=447339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=447339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
