You can still score last-minute USC vs. UCLA tickets online, with reselling platforms like StubHub, Vivid Seats, and Seat Geek being some of the best options. Ticket prices will likely stay under $100, and may drop down below $50 if you wait till the last second, but don’t count on it.

USC vs. UCLA Odds

Oddsmakers are giving the Trojans the edge against the Bruins in a 6.5-point spread.

The LA rivals have had similar seasons, with USC racking up seven wins and four losses and UCLA at six-four. However, the Trojans are on a losing streak with four of their last five games ending in defeat. And their only win in those five games was a close one of 50-49 over Cal. Plus, UCLA’s defense could be an issue for the Trojans, which gives the Bruins a fighting chance against their crosstown enemies.
