I was lucky enough to get USC at -10 on BETJM earlier this week. It looks like the number is at -11.5 to -12 acrosse the boards.

I think this game stays close the first half but then USC will wear them down. Ohio State will come out to try to redeem their name, and they have the athletes, but I think USC has the speed and just too many weapons.

Can’t recommend a pick either way, cause I already got in at a low number that you can’t get anywhere now. I might also look at a first half line as well, like I sadi I feel it might be close in the first half.

These are from my buddy Kojak over at TheRx.com

Saturday:
Duke -2 ($200)….Really like how competitive Cutcliffe has Devils playing at early in the season. Tobacco Road has been the only area of optimism so far in the ACC.

Mississippi St. +10 ($300)…I really like this spot for the Bulldogs. Yes they were upset in Wk 1 but feel Croom will have his troops ready to possibly pull an upset over an Auburn team that I am not as sold on as others.

Missouri -26 ($500)….Tigers have been money at home of late and it will continue here despite big spread. Mizzou’s defense and special teams will come up big to help cover the number.

Purdue +8 ($1000)…..Oregon has run some scores up on some cupcakes but in Tillers last season, I expect a very live Boiler team. Purdue will likely need to run some ball control through running the fb or short passing game but are capable of doing it. I believe Purdue will pull the mild upset su without the points in this game.

Georgia -7 ($200)….Even on the road, I believe Georgia is way too talented to lose to Spurrier despite his record vs Bulldogs. Georgia wins by 14-17 points in this one.

California -14 ($1000)….This Cal team is proving they may be underrated so far early in the season. This Maryland team is awful having barely beating Delaware and losing su to Middle Tennessee St. I see Cal having their way like they did vs Wazzu last weekend despite travelling cross country.

Oregon State -13 ($500)….This OSU team is following the pattern of past Beavers team looking sad early on. This is their home opener and feel they will take it out on the boys from Hawaii handily.

Notre Dame +2 ($200)…..I like Irish to win this game su. Michigan has shown me very little as ND likewise but if they have played this poorly at home, what do you expect on the road. Irish win su in tight defensive game.

Temple +6.5 ($500)… The wrong team is favored here imo. I look for Owls to win this game su by at least a td though Gill has Buffalo playing respectable.

Memphis +4 ($300)….Really like Tigers to win this game in another that I believe wrong team is favored.

Ohio State +11.5 ($300)…..Beanie will pull a Willis Reed and will suit up to play. I am not convinced Buckeyes win this game but believe it will be under double digits.

Washington +21 ($1000)….I really like the Huskies to play well here. OU has looked very good early on but Ty being 0-2 and mandated to have a winning season, I can’t see these guys making a better game of this than most expect. Looker will give fits to OU defense being multifaceted. This game should be high scoring but expect a 38-27 type score and Huskies cover.

BOL TO EVERYBODY THIS WEEKEND!

A ton of action of the USF -3.5, line jumped up to -4.5.

Take Kansas and the points, I don’t think that the USF defense has seen a type of high passing offense like this. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kansas wins the game by 10.

Nice that we have a double header on Monday night football tonight.

A couple interesting games yesterday that might have a bunch of us in the whole.

I broke about even on the day with Pitt -6.5, Cowboys -5.5, and loses of Detroit -3, and Bengals -2. The Bengals are a joke.

Monday night lines are watched heavily by the books, it is really hard to find a solid edge on Monday night games. Just a word to the wise.

My buddy JLu likes the Vikings on the money line. 62% of the best are coming in on the Vikings which dropped the line to -1. It all depends if Aaron Rodgers can stay focused. I also like the Vikings in this game.

Denver and Oakland is the battle of the bad, no clear edge. I would give the homefield advantage to the Raiders, and most of the action is on the Denver as well. Not sure on this one yet.
