Lincoln Riley and his USC Trojans will certainly look different here. Caleb Williams, who will be one of the top quarterbacks drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft will not play. He tossed for more than 3,600 yards, with 30 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.

Louisville Cardinals vs. USC Trojans Betting Picks
Here are our official Louisville vs USC betting picks: It is hard to make our NCAAF picks here, as both College Football teams are banged up. While the Trojans have some massive talent gone, so do the Cardinals. Moss will be fine under center for USC. They will put him in spots to score. Louisville has a good defense, but we expect the Trojans to be able to score. In fact, we are betting the Trojans to win this game, as they are closer to home, and would love to finish strong heading into the offseason. Take USC +240 on the moneyline.
