⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors USC, aligning with money distribution and market consensus, making a follow-the-public approach optimal as sharp action appears limited and doesn’t contradict the math. Northwestern benefits from extra rest off a bye, but USC’s offensive efficiency in the current season holds up. Overall game scoring outlook leans low, with both defenses showing improved havoc rates and USC’s depleted backfield capping explosive potential.
