USC will give the Utes all they can handle and let it all hang out. They're desparate, hungry, in dissaray but will be dangerous. "Lowly" Cal gave them a good go till the final gun, ASU hung in there for a long time. After 3 weeks at home, don't think the Utes will find the Coliseum hospitable or friendly. Wouldn't be surprised if the Trojans pull the upset. I mean Vegas makes the No.4 team in the nation an underdog vs. unranked team. Got to think about that.

Good luck all whichever way you go.

College football rankings look good in the (new-paper) sports sections on Monday morning.....That's where it ends when it comes to sports-betting. The odds-makers are a "snarly' group when it comes to putting out betting-lines.

The wrong team isn't favored.

When adjusting for power ratings and Home Field, the number is correct.

Anyone who watched the Ute's play Sat night know that field position went their way especially in the 4th qtr and they jumped on a fumble that set up an easy score. They trailed 18 to 14 going into the 4th qtr. USC will give them all they want and maybe more.

This is a game where you hop on a jet with 10K and head to Vegas and unload on the Trojans. Last Sat was the start of undefeated teams catching a loss. Last week it was Florida. This week its the Utes. A pac 12 team will not make the playoff in my opinion. Winner of Mich st/ Ohio st takes a spot. Winner of Lsu/Alabama takes a spot. Winner of Clemson/Noles take a spot. Winner of TCU/Baylor takes a spot.

Odds makers are tipping their hands. High rollers will love these lines in the opposite directions you think they should. Both have already moved actually

I think you're probably right about that.

Looks like its mostly USC -3.5 now at most books except Bovada which is still -3 with extra juice. Kind of odd when Bovada is the lowest on a fav, but I imagine they will get to -3.5 eventually.

Unranked Home favorites VS ranked opponents are 45-54 the past 10 years (since 2006 season). Laying 3 or 3.5 they are 9-14.
