    Wazzu (+5) vs. USC??!!...what am I missing here?

    line opened up at (+4.5) at most books and then quickly dropped to (+3.5) within a 24 hour span...now it has picked up steam again and the current number is at (+5)...what gives??!!...is it because of USC's name and past reputation?...pedigree?...perception?... I took the Cougars on my teaser plays this week (in my thread) and I just might throw a nickel on them at the current number...would like to hear my fellow SBR nation poster's opinion on this game.

    Mike Leach loves to piss all over USC, usually with an inferior team. Lost a ton of money fading that guy.

    ^^^...I tend to agree, SharpAngles...however, Mike Leach teams are also known to shit the bed at the most inopportune times or when you least expect it...his teams are usually good for at least 2 or 3 stinkers per season...that's been his Achilles heel throughout his career...but I hope you're right about his disdain for the Trojans...I got some money on Wazzu!...

    USCs best defensive player Porter Gustin is out for the first half serving his suspension for last weeks BS targeting call. Liking Cougs 1H +3.

    WSU has looked good against three nobodies; SJSU hung with Oregon but lost at home to UC Davis, Wyoming (at home) needed a late TD to beat Wofford by three and EWU is I-AA. Gun to head, I take the Trojans but too many unknowns here; looks like a pass.

    Tough to analyze both teams performance.

    Wazzu crushed shit competition

    USC got embarrassed by decent competition.

    What a bunch of B.S. A "Scrappy" San Jose team? We are talking about a team that lost at home to Division 1AA UC Davis and may not win a game this season. A "Respectable" Wyoming team that is 2-2, with wins against 0-4 (S/U AND ATS) New Mexico State and Division 1AA Wofford? A Division 1AA "Powerhouse"? This is nothing but Crap. Just who in the hell do you think you are kidding? Stop acting like you know what you are doing because you do not have a clue. You want to sound like a tout, but even they know more than you do, and that is not much. What is your record this year big shot? You do not even post it do you? Now knock off your caca. STOP the f**king unneeded dramatics.

    Can the handle they the moneyline pressure? It's showing up in the market, and I say no.

    Until JT Daniels shows me something I cannot bet on him. The fukkin kid is basically a high school senior wearing a college QBs uniform. The Trojans D is the worst it’s been in 5 seasons and missing its leader for half the game so reason number two they probably lose.

    Plus worst of all the USC head coach is bald as a cueball and we all know baldys are born losers.

    Freshman QB that has little experience and feeling some pressure. SC will have trouble putting points up. Again.

    another one of those "USC would have been heavily favoured in preseason" games....... they really seem to swing to the overachieving team i find... last week's Cuse over FSU finally convinced me.

    i see power ratings have it USC as 1 or 2 point favorite.

    i'm wondering if good system coaches (Leach) are good to TAIL when they lose alot of personnel. i mean they lost an absolute stud pass rusher and an amazing QB and here they are doing well. i know they picked up transfer QB which i'm often not crazy about, but i think Leach as HC is different.

    Too many touts on USC. Its either Washington State or Pass. Pass for me. Like the over 50 though but will probably pass that too.

    Feels like an Under to me. This line jumped out to me as well. I thought it would be a pickem. I like wash as USC just does not look like a competent team to me, even facing better opponents. I could see the players quit in this game if things get tough.

    How about the Cougs TT over 23? They have only not scored 23 points 5 times in the past 2.5 seasons, and they were against way tougher competition....

    I also can't find a reason to back either side

    I would just play the underdog to win str8 up

    USC qb doesn't impress but Wazzu hasn't beaten anyone

    I hate betting against USC but I think you take the 4.5 if you can get it.
