southern california trojans ......

[gman2]

somebody please talk me out of a spread and moneyline play on usc tonight.

washington is a damn good team, but usc is one of the few teams that can match their athletes and it seems like the trojans play up and down to their competition. if memory serves correct, theyve beaten arizona in los angeles the last few years. why not another one tonight against a similar team? they played relatively well against the huskies last year too.

Well, I'm not playing it either way, but you gotta think after the close call vs. Stanford that the Huskies will bring their "A" game. I'd lean ever-so-slightly to Washington, but wouldn't advise a play either way.

i played 'em.

Is Craven out???

does it matter?

 

[tt boy]

Washington looked like a top 10 team in that 1st half..Couldn't do anything wrong..Usc....well.....not good :scared.we need this baby to turn around in a hurry

 

[gman2]

pac-10 is overrated. usc doesnt deserve to be playing for any bcs after this first half. theyre soft.

sorry i didn't see your post earlier...usually coattail your football picks and some mac hoops picks....but never pac-10...i live out here and know all these teams....

sc is not good this year and have no home court adv...uw is a legit top 5-10 team (along with az)......you can find better value betting against uw on the road than this game vs sc (osu/ou...maybe cal if they get healthy later)....sc plays terrible defense and that leads to easy baskets for an up tempo team like uw

personally i think the conf race turns into a two horse race by mid-conf season...easily see 9-0/8-1...8-1/7-2 with 2 games lead by uw-ua....think ou/osu/asu finish top half in some order with ucla close behind......stanford is in trouble, cal is hurt, wazzu stinks as does sc.

good luck and like i said wish i could have gotten to your post earlier.
