Don't fuck up Vegas.  You put a soft line up just because WSU is at home and I'll make you pay.  I'm guessing USC will be 35 point favorites.

I hope its 28 and I will pound it as well but closer to 35 the 28 I would say.

What the hell do you keep bringing Stanford up for.  Wazzu would lose to that Stanford team by 30+.  Cap the teams instead of just looking at the history of teams favored by 40+, I'm sure I can come up with a list of teams that have covered the 40+ spread as well.

lol, so we can't make anymore threads in the c football room?
 
USC all day with this game.  I was thrilled it was under 50. I'm actually scared for WSU in this game.  Things can get downright disgusting in Pullman.

Giving 43 points to the home team is never an option for me.

Best defense Wazzu has faced all year and, oh by the way, theres a good chance a punter will be starting at qb.  I'm already on the 42.  More bets are on Wazzu yet the line is at 43  now

This is just like the Tulsa Rice game when the total opened at 80 to scare us and they scored 91.

Washington St gave up 66-66-63 to Cal, Oregon and Oregon St this year ya'll!!!!!  And all those games covered 42!?!?!?    No other team in the country has done that.......or failed like that.......They had an open QB try out on campus to find a QB that they could use.........this ain't a movie........and WSU doesn't have a team..........this will be the small play cover I take just to say I covered 6 TD's.....

Pete has too much class to blow this team away like that.  But then he may have to show the polls a HUGE game to move up.  I am SC alum, but I am leaning towards WAZU.

You know what, I am taking my last post back,  No play for me.  Just remembered one of my rules: "Don't bet on a bad team because you are getting a ton of points and hope for a mercy by the other team." Lost so many time doing that.  I think SC's 3rd string QB is gonna get some time in this game.

Who you talking to?

Keep your skirt up, it was all in the name of fun, dick

And nobody is perfect, even the mighty Trojans must fall to a crap team too.

I just can't get that Utah St game out of my head from last year, USC was favored by 40+ and didn't cover by a few........You would have had to watch the game to understand how i feel.........USC was scoring at will....right up to a few points under the cover for the 1st half and game.........If there was ever a fixed game, it was the USC- Utah St game from 07.  It was a complete mismatch, like an NFL team playing a high school team........I have no doubt something fishy was going on.
 
With that said, USC should murder this team by 60+

At first glance I thought giving 42.5 points to the home team was way too much, but after looking into it a little bit more I think USC can cover.

Washington St. is flat out horrible. End of story.

They've lost 3 QB's to injury and had an open tryout on campus to see if they can find someone to fill the role. They will most likely have Kopina back, who suffered a broken vertebra in September, but with the way their offensive line has played this season I sure as hell would not want to be back there coming back from an injury like that. They're 2nd and 3rd string QB's for this game were not on the team at the beginning of the season.

Besides their QB troubles, there's also questions about their RB situation. Their top 2 RB's both sat out last week. They will still be without their number one back, Ivory, in this game.

With all that being said, you have to wonder how they're going to score points against this USC defense.

Washington State's defense has let up more points than some NBA teams this preseason. They've given up 66 to Oregon St, 63 to Oregon, 45 to Baylor, and 66 to Cal this season. They've given up a total of 316 points in 7 games, an average of 45 points per game.

Before I started writing this I thought the over was the best play in this game, but I really don't think Wash. St. will put up much of anything. The line is predicting something like a 49-6 score. I need to rethink this one, maybe play the over or maybe play USC, but I hope some of this info helps you and your play.
