A widely used and respected power rating has usc as 22 point favs at home and it opened at 12.5. They were seemingly begging public to take S.C and they have done that on covers consensus picks at an alarming 75 percent and it has shown in the line moving up to 13.5. So they asked for tons of action of SC and got it. I have 7 strong plays this week and this is the only game that a scenario like this plays out. I am taking south carolina because what most usually see as a trap, if I like the game and handicapped it at a higher number I see it as value and a gift. What are peoples thoughts on this game? seems most are on USC. The only thing I can say good bout vandy is they play good defense. I mean this f--cking team is an embarassment on offense and have played some horrendous football straight up. If there is a BCS conference team with an offense worse than vandy please point them out. They are pure garbage. USC is playing at night at home with revenge on their mind and a huge game for them overall and in the conference and its on tv. If usc lays an egg in this situation than oh well f me.
The only game I see as exact opposite of above situation to this of my 7 plays is ucla at arizona. Books opened up at a higher number than the power rating begging people to take ucla and that is exactly what happened. I like arizona and waited for the line to drop bc i knew they were asking and would get ucla action. I personally have this game as az minus 13 so I am happy with it.
