Berkeley will be the site for the battle of Pac-10 supremacy this Saturday when the USC Trojans (3-1 SU, 1-3 ATS) take on the California Golden Bears (3-1 SU, 2-1 ATS) in a CFB betting showdown. USC coasted to a 27-6 victory over lowly Washington State after suffering a stunning NCAA wagering loss to Washington two Saturdays ago.
