Re: USC/Texas opinions
Texas is better. I'm putting a larger sized bet on the spread and a token on the moneyline too.
The Longhorns offense is nearly every bit as good as USC. QB, RB, WR, and OL are amazing for both teams. Texas is averaging over 500 ypg and 50 ppg. OF course, USC is at 580 ypg and is slightly better in terms of the number of different weapons.
The Texas D is better. They are only allowing 280 ypg. Yikes.
The special teams are a wash: Bush's big play potential v Texas all around small edges.
I'm seeing a 37-30 victory for the Longhorns. USC will only stop Texas if VInce Young makes turnovers. Texas will get a few stops, which will be enough.
Coaches are a wash.
Pac-10 is overrated. Big12 took more grief than it deserved. Oklahoma already won the 2nd place game over Oregon to everyone's surprise.
Winning at tOSU pwns winning at ND.
Briefly, for my first bowl recommendation to 2+2, take TEXAS +7 1/2 v USC
I'm 21-8 NCAA ytd ATS on my 2+2 recommendations
I'm also loving and recommending the following two pick
Ohio State -4 1/2 v ND
Florida State +10 v Penn St
