The new college football season is nearly back, with a handful of Week 0 games set for this weekend. One of these games will feature a matchup between the San Jose State Spartans and the USC Trojans. Let’s take a look at the match statistics and predictions for this game between the Spartans and the Trojans.
San Jose State enters this game having finished the 2025-2026 season with a record of 3-9. The Spartans were largely non-competitive last season, and not much is likely to change this season. Further, San Jose State failed to win a single away game last season, suggesting they will struggle against the Trojans in Los Angeles.
As for USC, they enter this game having finished the 2025-2026 season with a record of 9-4. The Trojans’ season was overall disappointing, as they are typically expected to compete for a National Championship, as well as a Big Ten title. USC ended their season on a sour note, losing to the TCU Horned Frogs in the Valero Alamo Bowl. Despite that, the Trojans look likely to win this game by a wide margin, as they have against lower-tier teams in the past.

Our USC Trojans vs San Jose State Spartans Prediction
USC is nearly a 40-point favorite in this game; therefore, the over looks to be the best betting option. Despite having an overall disappointing season, the Trojans’ offense was 10th in scoring last season, averaging 36.5 points per game. San Jose State, on the other hand, was terrible defensively last season, as they allowed an average of 32.5 points per game.
Five games for USC went over 60 points last season, while just three games went over 60 points for the Spartans. That said, USC’s offense looks likely to put up a big number here, while San Jose State could very well find some points later in the game. Because of this, our San Jose State Spartans vs USC Trojans prediction is: Over 60.5 Total Points.
