USC is getting a lot of market respect in Friday night’s important Pac-12 South challenge at Colorado (6 p.m., ESPN2). The Trojans covered a point spread of +10.5 at Notre Dame in a 30-27 loss two weeks ago, then bullied Arizona 41-14 on Saturday favored at that price. USC has covered three of its last four against the spread, including an outright win over Utah. The Bruins can’t afford another outright loss, with road underdog spots at Utah and USC still ahead. Cover percentages swing significantly around 3, the most important point spread in football betting.
