Anybody like Arizona, at home, laying 12.5 to USC?

USC was fortunate to cover their last game...Lightning will not strike twice

Agreed, have been betting against USC all season. USC was a favorite the last time these two played at USC and Zona won big. I got burnt in the UCLA game last week, but I don't think USC is capable of covering two weeks in a row. Jesse Perry and Chol will have big games and Kyle Fogg should play well. Solmon will dominate as well. Don't see this game being close. Zona by 16-20.

i don't get the line movement either. i figure arizona is good for 70-75 pts. can usc score more than 57??? I doubt it, but who the hell knows. Even though it's 12.5 pts, it almost looks too easy. RED FLAG. i'm laying off this one as I see some better options out there. i hate the pac 12

USC is terrible. They are short-handed and only way the cover is if they shoot well when the Arizona second-teamers are in. Definitely a possibility for a late cover last 5 or so minutes. Arizona could be up 20-25 and take their foot off the pedal...

Other USC lines this year:

+5 to Kansas- Lost by approx 15
+1 to UCLA- Lost by approx 20
-1 to Arizona Lost by approx 15
PK with Colorado Lost by approx 15

I say with USC if it is too good to be true, it is true. They are really bad, with no height and only 6 scholarship players. Only hope is Greg Allen bombing threes.

agree with all you guys, but who the hell is betting enough to move the line 2 pts and WHY? Andrew, I doubt there was serious RLM with those spreads and looking back, why the hell didn't I bet against USC in those games?

Yea, don't remember the line movement, did bet against SC in all those games. USC did cover their last game losing by "only" 10, probably better plays out there, but the RLM is definitely suspicious. If the line stayed at 14, I would jump all over it. Still think Zona dominates, but Zona did only beat Utah by 9 and Utah lost to SC by 18 (took Utah in that game). USC is pretty true to form though, they get blownout in the games they should.
