The USC Trojans (6-2, 4-1 Big Ten) host the Northwestern Wildcats (5-3, 3-2 Big Ten) in Friday night Big Ten action at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.
USC is coming off a 21-17 win over Nebraska, while Northwestern most recently lost to that same Huskers team, 28-21, before enjoying a bye week.
I put together a 2-leg same-game parlay for this Friday night fight, focusing on the Trojans' high-powered offense and running back King Miller.
Read on for my USC vs. Northwestern picks and NCAAF parlay for Friday, November 7.

USC vs. Northwestern Parlay Picks
USC Team Total Over 33.5 Points
I expect the Trojans' offense to do whatever it wants against the Wildcats' defense.
Signal-caller Jayden Maiava has been outstanding for Lincoln Riley this season, leading the Trojans to 39.9 points per game.
USC ranks fifth in the nation in points scored per game.
Northwestern will struggle to stop USC's dynamic offense tonight.
King Miller 100+ Rush Yards
We’ll team up with our Action PRO Report for this prop.
King Miller has taken over as the lead back in the absence of Waymond Jordan, who’s out with an injury.
Miller, a freshman, has rushed for 509 yards on 65 attempts this season. Miller has cashed this prop in two of his past three games. The lone game he didn’t hit this number was against Notre Dame, when he rushed for 70 yards.
Our Action PRO Report projects 112.1 rushing yards.
Parlay Picks: USC Team Total Over 33.5 Points, King Miller 100+ Rush Yards
