From the booth
The model favored USC to win, and the call landed.
USC's got this one locked up, folks. The model's got the Trojans at 97 percent to get the win, and it's pretty straightforward why. Vegas has 'em laying nearly a touchdown and a half, the betting market loves USC, and you're pairing a top-15 team against an unranked opponent. Louisiana's got a tiny sliver at 3 percent, so if you're looking for the upset special today, you're barking up the wrong tree.
