Just curious to see what you're thoughts are? I just saw that Olympic dropped the the total from 50 to 48. I was kinda leaning on the OVER, but am wondering why the 2 pt. drop?
any thoughts on the USC game?
- Thread starter bookkilla
- Start date
Something went on, Pinnacle pulled the game offline for awhile. When it came back up, the total was down to 47.5 from 50 I believe. Wonder if it was money, or game news.
love the under. I don't see AZ scoring much if any. Their offense has been horrific and on the road against a strong D that already has one shut out and seemed upset they lost the shut out w/back up QB mistakes against WSU. You have to be balanced on O (Or have a athletic, running QB) to have success against Carroll's D. Arizona is not.
On the other side of the ball, Stoops has AZ's D playing well and it is a source of pride, I don't see the D letting down even if they get down. SC's offense not been super consistant this year. Also Bush injuried his wrist in practice this week. He'll play, but I gotta beleive they will use him less and pull him out if they get up. Arizona's D will keep them close in the first half. I think this is a 34-7 type of game.
One thing seems certain. When USC is a big favorite, at halftime if they are up big, go the other way. If it is a tight game, load up on SC in the 2nd half. I've noticed that the last 3 years and have recently started doing that. SC 2nd half last week was my biggest wager of the year. Conversly, take a look at the scoring in games where SC gets up big in the first half. They shut down quick and eat alot of clock and the D gets a little sloppy. I've never seen any site that tracks 2nd half spreads, but would love to know if my perceptions are the reality.

Pinnacle agrees; has USC -36 and the Total at 47.5...that is about as tight a squeeze as you will ever see. Seems like if someone takes USC they would be tempted to take the over, unless they think they are Nostradamous and say the score will be 42-0.
Just throwing this out there....if USC sees that Oklahoma is puttin' a stompin' on Nebraska, does USC try to do the same?
Just curious?

i like Arizona + 35 '.... i teased them to 41' with Alabama +15.
Gee , i think Arizona can weasel 6- 10 points out of this and a score of around 41-45.
It's not like USC is playing perfect football which they would have to do to cover and stay within that total.
Nostradamus, Farmers Almanac, Crystal Balls & Southern Cal ! ??

LOL, very good. I have Utah and Im not convinced that the game is really being played. They are showing Harry Potter on my TV, is he supposed to be the QB?
Arizona is plus 36.5, Im going in for 1X.

With the way the Oaklahoma Nebraska game just finished, im taking the points and going with Arizona.
