Keep in mind that Vegas spreads aren't predictions, at least not about who will win. They're predictions about how people will bet. Some teams get a boost just because lots of people bet on them, and USC is one. My guess is that if we were playing USC's team but with a different name, the spread would be -6 or -7.
