Does anybody have a clue as to why the Troy Trojans have gone from a pick 'em to a 3 point chalk? Any info would be appreciated.

When were the trojans ever a pick-em. Most books opened at 3 and it has dropped to -2.5

Sportsbook.com opened the game at a PK almost a month ago. Troy State not USC.

TROY STATE V. NORTHERN IL

If they are "pounding USC" its because they are the best team in the Country. Its not that hard to figure out. USC defense will make a huge statement.

Did you edit that post? I swear it didn't say Troy. But I have been wondering the same thing.

If you think this USC defense is going to stop OU you are mistaken. Too many playmakers at Wide Receiver and Running Back for anyone to stop them. The Oklahoma Defense will be the one making a statement just like they did against Fla St. in the Orange Bowl 5 years ago. They made a change in the secondary and Antonio Perkins is healthy now, that is why no one scored a touchdown on them the last three games. The USC Defense had trouble stopping UCLA. The wrong team is favored in this game.

My bad, I should have been more specific to begin with. Anyway, anybody know why the "other" Trojans are getting so much attention at the ticket window?

Maybe because people have noticed the MAC is not doing so good in there other Bowl games.

Yeah, but a 3 point swing. There's something else, gotta be.

My guess it would be the poor showing of the MAC so far, with the exception of Bowling Green. Also, playing close at S. Caro & LSU, beating Marshall away, and beating Missouri. Other than that, no idea. This game looks pretty tough to call.

Kegler...no one scored against OU's defense the last three games because the no ones were Nebraska, Baylor, and Colorado.

USC scores at least 20 next Tuesday, as they have in 38 straight games. I guarantee you Oklahoma did not see one offense this year remotely close to USC. OK State can't score on Ohio State for god's sake...yet they managed 35 against Oklahoma.

Sorry but I'm totally over the Big 12 hyperbole....they are the most overrated conference in the country and other than Oklahoma and the Texas' defense, the rest of the conference is a joke.

WC, don't talk over rated when one of your pac 10 teams lost to Wyoming. Texas A&M beat Wyoming 31-0 by the way.

well if so, it will be one of the FEW times Ive been wrong all season. Check for yourself. Going back to USC first game against what was supposed to be a lousy VT team by double digits infront of 80,000 Vt fans.lol

I said a little known player by the name of Bush would step up to be the best player this year. Now Im saying the D will Dominate White just as LSU did last year.

Kegler...how can the Pac 10 be overrated when everyone east of Utah thinks they are the weakest conference in the BCS besides Big East? If UCLA is your guage for the strength of the Pac 10 you might want to ask OK State to move to the north division.

I've heard all year about the greatness of the Big 12 south and after tomorrow they will be 0-2 in bowl games. The Big 12 south is no different than the top 6 teams in any conference. Take out Oklahoma and Texas and you got a whole bunch of mediocrity.

Sphinx...I agree...there is another thread hear about Ohio State/OK State that is 90% Oklahoma Sooner. I'm just trash talking with the Oklahoma homers because this is their life. Come wednesday they will all disappear.

sure guy...now you know....so why not give it a rest...

one thing i do know...anybody capping "the big game" that pays one iota of attention to all the homers(and i`m waiting for one to be "leaning" against his home team) is crazy....

homers touting their home teams....suprises me about as much as the court records confirming liberace was gay....

try having an honest discussion about the weaknesses and strengths of your respective teams so people can benefit from some real information....
