Last week, the trends told you that fading Clay Helton and USC as underdogs was the smart play, and it was. The Trojans are underdogs once again this week at Texas, while Alabama’s Nick Saban will coach his first game with a recorded over/under in the 70s.

Here are the rest of the betting trends that should help you navigate this weekend’s slate.
