My first look when it comes to the Pac-12 is to any home underdogs as the host school sports an 83 percent winning average. USC fits the bill on today's card.

Not only do the Trojans need this game being a bubble team, but they are 16-1 at home this season and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 home contests.

Oregon is a bit fat and happy after clinching the No. 1 seed for next week's Pac-12 Tournament and earning at least a share of the Pac-12 title for the first time in 14 years.

Bottom line is the Pac-12 is a very even conference with a lot of good but not great teams. It's a bonus to get the Trojans as home underdogs.
