The USC Trojans have once again been through a season that includes some high drama. And with their players – especially the veterans – exasperated by now, there could not be any better result in the end than for them to capture the PAC 12 championship. That title is going to be up for grabs on Saturday night at 7:45 PM ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, as they take on the Stanford Cardinal, a team that beat them at home this season. After the opening kickoff, Vietbet customers will have a chance to make their football betting picks against real-time, dynamic odds that are provided by state-of-the-art software from Live Betting Extra, a feature that brings a lot of thrills and chills to the sports betting experience.

- Under 59 points -110
Under bizarre circumstances, Steve Sarkisian was fired, as he was going through some “personal problems” which included an inability to function without alcohol and/or painkillers. The move was made after a loss to the Washington Huskies, and offensive coordinator Clay Helton was installed as the interim coach. USC has given a very honest effort since then, and Helton has been rewarded with a guaranteed five-year deal, which was very popular with his players. That should count for something as they go into what is, so far anyway, the biggest game of the year.

Athletic director Pat Haden complimented Helton on bringing back “USC’s style of physical football,” which obviously implies that he is emphasizing a power running game a little more. Actually, there is some doubt as to whether the numbers really bear that out. In games where Sarkisian was the coach, USC averaged 178 yards per game on the ground. Under Helton, that figure is 176. Of course, they played a higher level of opposition on an overall basis after Helton took over.
But, as Vietbet patrons are aware, Sarkisian was the coach when Stanford and USC met up in September, and Stanford came away with a 41-31 victory. There is something additional at stake for the Cardinal in this one; not only will they be going after the conference championship, but they also believe they have an opportunity to make it into the four-team college football playoff, if a few things bounce their way. They are currently ranked seventh in the nation in all three major polls – the Associated Press, the USA Today coaches and the all-important college playoff rankings.

And of course, Christine McCaffrey gets an opportunity to bolster his argument for the Heisman Trophy. He has averaged 253 yards per game, taking into account his rushing, receiving and return totals. One thing people may not be taking into account as much as they should is that the Trojans have been better stopping the run this season than Stanford as. Let’s see if that turns out to be a major factor in the outcome.
