I see USC playing angry football tonight and take it out on Col big - despite all the arguments re: taking the 21 pts.

Also, last I checked, schools do refuse bowl invitation. Notre Dame has declined bowl invitations. Heck, didn't Ball St decline a bowl invite after going 12-0  'cos they did not want to play Boise st at  Boise? So, essentially, all regular season games are bowl games for a school like USC at this time.


well , in that case is understandable, which of those lowly teams would want to be blown out of the fuckin planet on national TV

I actually got USC -11.5 1st half at my book...they're going to score early and often.  Colorado is really bad...

That makes no sense whatsoever.

This game won't be close.  I see that Colorado is getting Stewart and Richardson back, but that won't be enough.  USC has way too much talent for Colorado.

I took USC -20.5 for 7 units.

Everyone has been saying USC has nothing to play for...blah, blah blah. The question is, what does Col have to play for? They are pathetic and beaten down. If USC jumps out on top early, I expect them to roll over AGAIN. For me its USC or no play. I can't put my money on this Col team.

yep...& same people on FSU are doubling down on USC.

2 weeks back...sunday night, the saints blowout the colts. Monday night, all the board chatter is how easily the ravens will cover, look at the saints last night. Ravens no-showed.

fact is, one game has nothing to do with the other. My bet is that the bookies get back their FSU losses on USC backers tonight.

for people who are not experienced, there is not a more textbook definition of letdown spot then USC tonight. Off a bad loss, season over, on the road, in the cold. I dont care how bad colorado is. USC will play down to them for at least half the game, & for this reason USC will fall short of the cover.

More than that... Even a half-hearted USC effort will drum Colorado, they are not good at all...

Somebody beat me to it but the same losers who are on Colo tonight are the losers on BC last night. Look guys plain and simple CU is a total and utter dogshit team. I told you guys last night.  I even told you Boston College would be down 28 to 0 at halftime. They were down 28 to 0 at halftime and people were still trying to tell me taking BC wasn't dumb. Guys this is why most posters on this site lose money. They just make shockingly bad bets.

fellas   after I went to the colorado/colorado state game (3rd game of year)  i left the stadium and said to my buddy.  gonna bet against both these teams rest of year.  They both are fucking horrible.  USC could play their cheerleaders on offense and still score 35.    Dont worry about this letdown bullshit.   USC rolls and I haven't lost yet betting against em  good luck
