College Football Week 7 USC vs. Notre Dame odds and matchup preview

USC has a perfect 6-0 record this season but hasn’t achieved the mark in impressive fashion. The Trojans’ defense is its Achilles heel, as the unit allowed Arizona State, Colorado, and Arizona to keep their games vs. USC tight down the stretch.

Consensus number one overall NFL Draft pick Caleb Williams has overcome a USC defense that allows 27 points per game, ranking bottom four in the Pac-12 against the pass and rush. The only things the Trojans have done consistently well are sack the passer and force turnovers.

This matchup bodes well for a Notre Dame offense that’s been unable to get in rhythm in recent weeks. The Fighting Irish boat raced lesser opponents to start the year but failed to surpass 17 points vs. No. 6 Ohio State, No. 17 Duke, and No. 25 Louisville in the past three weeks.

Best USC vs. Notre Dame game props and odds: Over 59.5 points (-113 or better)

Notre Dame’s defense is above average but will struggle vs. Williams and the Trojans. The reigning Heisman winner ranks ninth in the nation in passing yards and first in touchdowns, and has a number of playmaking pass catchers at his disposal.

USC’s defense can’t stop a nosebleed, which will lead to a shootout in South Bend. Sam Hartman and Audric Estime struggled in a Week 6 loss to Louisville, but have the potential to put up monster numbers against USC.

Best USC vs. Notre Dame player props and odds: Caleb Williams over 22.5 rushing yards (-114 or better)

With only two games above 25 rushing yards this season, Williams hasn’t used his legs often. But with Notre Dame being the top defense USC has faced this season, Williams will be forced to scramble if players are covered downfield.

Caleb’s rushing prowess was key in the Trojans’ 38-27 victory over Notre Dame in 2022. The Washington, D.C. native ran for 35 yards and three touchdowns.
