Opening Line: USC - 7.5
No. 7 USC faces off with 21st-ranked Oregon in Los Angeles on Saturday to open a three-game home stretch. This is the toughest stretch of the season for USC (7-1, 5-1), which also plays No. 8 California and No. 9 Notre Dame at home before a season-ending game against UCLA at the Rose Bowl. SBG Global reports that the offshore betting public has lost all respect for Trojans with a majority of money on Oregon.
''Everything is going to happen in L.A.,'' said head coach Pete Carroll. ''It's been a long year on the road with a lot of trips and stuff. Now we have the benefit of being home the rest of the season, and we have to make the most of it.'' The Trojans still have a good chance to represent the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl.
USC is an 8 point home favorite at SBG Global.
USC trails Cal by one game in the conference standings, with the winner likely to play the loser of the Ohio State-Michigan game in Pasadena. ''We can't control what happens,'' receiver Dwayne Jarrett said. ''The only thing we can control is us. All we can do is keep winning and playing hard and at the end of the season we'll see what happens.''
USC is coming off a 42-0 rout of Stanford last Saturday. The win came a week after a 33-31 loss to Oregon State, the team's first regular-season loss in more than three years.

''People thought after that loss to Oregon State, we'd just tumble and fall,'' linebacker Rey Maualuga said. ''I feel like we came out and made a statement. We're coming and we're hungry.''
This is the first time USC has hosted Oregon (7-2, 4-2) since a 28-17 loss in 2000. The Ducks (7-2, 4-2) are coming off a 34-14 win over Washington last week, giving them back-to-back wins for the first time since starting the season 4-0. The Trojans lead the all-time series 35-15-2, but Oregon is 4-3 in the last seven meetings.
