Had I set the opener it would have been Wash St. -1 or pk'em. I feel the line is accurate.

which side do you think the books want the public to take?

I feel the line is right. USC is tough and could beat any team at home. Well maybe not UNC but anyone else yes.

i think the line is right, i'm actually on usc already. i just think its an interesting thing to look at. washington state isnt your typical #4 power house team, but a line like this with say....duke +1/+2 at an unranked team would get all the public on duke and a likely win for the books. washington state doesnt have the reputation of your typical top 5 team, and therefore the public isnt likely to hammer the higher ranked team here, even though the line seems to beg for it. Hell, in this instance, the unranked team is the much more publicized side.

mayo, floyd, lil romeo and all that business has made USC the most well known pac-10 team in the country.

I'm undecided.. I hate betting against WSU cause they're so fundamentally sound.

I'm guessing this line goes to PK maybe SC+1 tomorrow. GL I know a lot of sharp dudes who are on SC.

WSU doesnt lose games, thats for sure. USC will have to beat them and it wont be easy knowing that the trojans are likely to have more wasted possessions, but the opening line dictates a play on USC for me.

hopefully you'll have a pick for the board tomorrow.

the early wager line consensus at +1

Washington St. 100 Southern California 99
