DraftKings · as of July 8, 2026
TCU defeated USC 30–27 in a nail-biter. TCU covered by 7.5; Game went Over by 0.5. The market closed at USC -4.5 and the Blue Chip model made it USC -7.3 - a gap of 2.8 points toward USC, of which 2.5 points were beyond the model's measured factors. That was an information gap - the market pricing something the model does not carry - rather than a measured edge. Blue Chip Analytics had rated USC 7.6 points stronger on a neutral field.
