The USC Trojans are 1-1 against the spread through their first two games, averaging more than 45 points en route to a 2-0 record straight up and the No. 4 ranking in the country. But after covering just one of two games so far – both at home – should the Trojans be favored by more than two TDs against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday?

USC is listed as 15.5-point chalk versus Texas, leaving bettors to wonder if there is more value on the home favorite or road underdog again.

While the Trojans turned in an impressive performance in a 42-24 rout of the Stanford Cardinal last week, they also were tied 21-21 with the Western Michigan Broncos going into the fourth quarter of their season-opening matchup. USC failed to cover against Western Michigan, and this may be too many points to give a Longhorns team that will likely look to run the ball and control the clock in hopes of pulling off the upset.
