My LOCK of the Year
We were actually talking about this game back in June wondering what the line might be. I'm calling USC in an impressive romp.
Folks, 10-11 points is just not nearly enough. OK, I know USC takes a few games off each year but I strongly believe this is not one of them. Still, it is a risk.
The flat opener and the extra week of prep time set the table for this one. USC comes ready.
10 appears to be a small number, but USC is playing there first road game of the season, they are traveling to Lincoln, and Nebraska one of the best in the Big 12. 10 is no small number. It's actually pretty large for the situation.
are you gonna give everyone $25 again if the lock gets picked?
You must be smoking some real good stuff with Cheech and Chong again John. Otherwise you wouldn't be picking the wrong side in this game.

I like USC here. Their D will come out strong and challenge the Neb. running game.
If not Nebraska outright winning, I think they will cover the 10 points.
Sorry to here you labeled this one a "lock" John, I figured you knew better then that.
GL John if I play it I'll play USC or pass on it all together.
I'm on Nebraska myself....
Guess there's no doubt that Nebraska and the pts should be one of my plays this weekend. Thanks John!
I think so too EP....
Chong's son (Paris) was my lab partner in High School back in 1990.I like Cheech & Chong
Did anyone watch Nebraska last week ? They are going to have major problems stopping USC and their offense should struggle as well. I am with you John minus the "L" word.. good luck to all no matter what side you are on.
USC all the way. Nebraska had alot of trouble with Wake Forest's running game. Look for that trend to continue with USC........
USC takes it by two touchdowns, in my oppinion
I'm on Nebraska too, John. Sorry bro.
oh no, not the L word John......I remember the last time this happened...you had to pay us all a $100 bucks...GL on this one, but I'm on the other side (as you probably already are aware of)...
Actually my last 6 locks are 5-1 unless you count my one baseball lock then I'm 5-2.
Neb is a vanilla team that can beat a lot of K. St types. And they have a good home field as well. Better if it was later in the year and weather was a factor.
However, when USC comes to play and wants to play they are a load. Their passing game worries me. They want to pass badly and they will force the pass. I'm sure you will see a lot of dink and dunk passes early and deeper shots later.
Other than that I think the Nebraska punter had better be well rested.
Nobody has more talent than mighty USC, but I'm not sure how anyone could consider them a lock in this spot when they lost twice last year as double digit road faves (Oregon St and UCLA). USC might be better than last year, but Nebraska is certainly better than OSU and UCLA were too.
Good luck all the same John.
USC for me.... Their D-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
is the key.
USC is the best team in college ball. Many if not most of their curent first team defenders will one day be "playing on Sundays."
I'll pass on this game, tho. Nebraska has played (and won) two games already vs semi-respectable opponents (Nevada and Wake).
USC has had only one game, a virtual scrimmage against a horrendous team (Idaho). They could have won by 60 pts, but held the horses and won by only 28.
Practices don't equal real games, nor do scrimmages against extremely weak teams. Rust will be a major concern to the Trojans, and as noted they're on the road.
They may blow out Nebraska, but I wouldn't feel good having a wager in on this game. If I were going to bet I'd take the Huskers in the first half
I think 10 is the right number. I think USC will win, but we will be within 3-7 points of this number either way, which is too close for my liking. Much easier picks out there, like Texas A & M +22. On the NFL side, love 6 point teaser Bears-5 and over 28. Grossman plays much better at home and Chiefs may not get a first down. I know its the NFL, but this could be a blowout.
Yea I would take Texas A & M +22 also, but got a feeling my man will have them favored though. LOL
1 unit at -10 and thinking of putting another unit at -9.5...
USC's D will outscore Nebraska... SC by 2 TDs.
john,
it's good that you have such a short memory, sign of a good gambler...I'm referring to the challenge you made a couple of years ago during college football where you ended up telling everyone that you were so confident in your picks that if you didn't win at least 2 of the three games, you'd give us all $100 in our BetCRIS account...safe to say I was $100 richer...
so I'm not sure if it was in your "lock" category or not, but it didn't cash...lastly, one would think that if the game was a true "lock" (notice you will never hear me say that word ever, along with the word "sucker bet") you wouldn't be worried about any facet of USC's game...
at any rate, we'll see how this game unfolds in about a day or so...
Nice LOCK there John, where are all your bashers at ?
That was pure luck on John's part. No way he could do that again next week... Or can he????
I'd at least give him a listen. I had USC giving points when it first came out, and then tripled down. It saved my week and pulled me into the black. I got hosed by 'Bama and TCU.
Even winning this bet didnt you feel a little sorry for Neb and their fans? It wasnt nearly as close as the final score.
Good luck all and no matter how you did on this pick keep in mind we are all still team mates!
