USC vs V.TECH...............SATURDAY

[Fishhead]

Line is currently -18 at most places.

What does PINNACLE close this game at kick-off?

 

[SurfBoard]

20.5

Im guessing it will drift up towards 20+. Im a VT alum and even with the most biased outlook it looks like a beating. M. Vick is done and USC and VT ended up last season heading in different directions. USC added a strong recruiting class and didnt lose too much, and VT lost a lot to the pros.

I cant bet against VT, so Im not touching it.

Along with the line, feel free to give your opinions on this game.

It the start of a new season and this game should generate some terrific action!

When I was in Vegas this past weekend, The Mirage had USC - 20.5.

The line is now USC - 19 at The Mirage.

I'll wait for the line to steam to 20.5 and then lay it on USC along with all my other Vegan Trapezoids

the under is the play, most of the value is gone, still decent at 50, but not nearly as good as the opener.

 

[AJSuited]

ATX,
why is under the play?

VTs defense (especially run d) was the worst its been in 8 years. It hasnt gotten any better in the off season. Randall is strong and has some weapons.

Not arguing, just want your logic.

 

[ATX]

I think VT's defense is better than a lot of people credit it. Coaching at the collegiate level has a lot to do with that. Another reason is that offenses are usually a bit more rusty than defenses in college first games. I dont see VT scoring a whole lot vs USC. I see a 33-13 type score a lot more likely than a 45-20. Not sure how a neutral field comes in as a factor on totals, also not sure why everyone thinks VT will be SO bad without them having played yet. I tend to think that enough drives bog down on both sides for a few FG's instead of TD's to be scored. Of course, the first game of a football season is always tough to accurately wager on, and 2nd halves often provide more of a weakness since full game spreads (that may have been completely inaccurate) have an affect on the 2nd half numbers.

Why has the game been offline at Pinnacle? Don't they want the action? Good case for needing multiple outs.

 

[oldmanTED]

I'm going to go against the consensus here and believe the line will move back down toward 17 by game time.

Blue & BigBet,
If its 18 now , why jump on it at 20?? How many games do you see end in 18,19,20 point wins?? You should wait till if it hits 21. Anything UNDER 21 especially 18-20 isn;t really different IMO!!

 

[JimFiestSux]

IMO I think USC WINS by 35.
