Rose Bowl Opener

[Senator7]

USC just opened as a 6 point favorite over Texas. Thoughts?

Its opened at 7 in Vegas.

I'm thinking this line comes down closer to game time.

6.5 at Pinnacle, 6 at CRIS, I think it shifts toward Texas as we get closer to Jan. 4th

[Senator7]

Just moved to 6.5 at CRIS.

I'm telling you guys, the public will be all over the Trojans. Just wait until the lines hit 7 or 7.5 and then pound Texas. That's what I am gonna do.

i wouldn't bet on that fact ILL.

I'll be sure to bump this thread close to game time. I'm telling you, this line will close around 7/7.5

i don't see it personaly ILL. i'm thinking this closing line could be roughly 5.5 to 6 IMHOO

I think it will be lower than that. I've talked to maybe 15 people about this. Exactly three said they thought USC would win. Not cover, win.

[Illusion]

It must depend on what part of the country you live in. Everybody that I have talked to in the Chicago area thinks USC will win big.

[moses millsap]

I think this line will close at 5 if not lower, especially if Oregon loses to Oklahoma and the Pac-10 schools fare badly in their bowl games and the Big 12 teams do well (just like last year where Oklahoma closed as the favorite)

[Max Levine]

I'm thinking this line comes down closer to game time.

I agree. And I doubt the game result will be that close... whichever way it goes.
