| CFB | (247) USC at (248) TCU: Total | 9:00pm EST - Dec 30/2025 |
The PLAY: Total Under 55.5 (-110)
This total is generously high. TCU's offense will be without its star QB and one of its best receivers. Facing a USC team which allowed just 10 points in its final game, scoring is going to be tough. The Horned Frogs' defense will need to step up. Both teams have allowed 23 or fewer points in four of their last five games. Two of the last three Alamo Bowls have finished with 50 or fewer points. This one should stay below the 55 mark.
Ben Burns is our reigning football champion. He was #1 with college AND #1 with pro football last season. Currently, he's 8-1 with his December CFB, the #1 record on the site, a perfect 5-0 when elevating to "big play status."
