Re: USC/Texas opinions
I can't believe it's Texas +8.5 right now...

Re: USC/Texas opinions
Yeah, because they are going to get killed, that is why I took the line early cause I knew it was going to move.
By the time the game starts it will be above 9, still a lock there too.

Re: USC/Texas opinions
MT2R, interested to hear your reasoning behind Texas...I like USC, got them at -7 -115, now I realize I should've gotten on it earlier, didn't think it would move so much so fast...might try to middle/hedge it if it gets to 10.5...for me it's hard to go against Leinart and Bush. I see it being a similar story as last year...Big 12 overrated, Pac-10 underrated, USC wins handily. While OSU was certainly a quality win, it doesn't seem like Texas played any other tough games, and Mack Brown doesn't have a good history in games of this magnitude outside the past 12 months...and Young is certainly more prone to dropping a deuce in this spot than Leinart. What am I missing?

Re: USC/Texas opinions
pinnacle popped to -7.5+110 (which buys down to -7-105). last few days of betting is all TX. I see maybe one or two places that still have +7.5-105, get it before it's gone. you don't have to like this game...you just have to like free money.

Re: USC/Texas opinions
The question is should USC be better than a touchdown favorite, and I think anyone saying they should be more just isn't being realistic. These two teams hang 50 points on most of the top 25 teams in the country. They each had a tough game against a rival, and Texas had a tough game against a legit top 10 team that likely should have won the Big 10 this year, they didn't but that doesn't degrade their team.
Texas has great special teams USC has great Special teams Texas has a great D USC has a very good D Texas has a very good offense USC has a great offense So what should win out? Give USC an edge for winning it last year, playing in their own back yard and having stronger coaching. Is that more than 2 scores though? possibly but I'm not excited about the line.
