Books giving you USC as a gift

Over 80% on USC at DraftKings. Plus that $1M wager someone supposedly made. Something smells fishy here. Who's paying these journalists to shill that wager?

ESPN Matchup Predictor has Utah 61% chance of winning. Really? The same Utah team that everyone knows struggles on the road?

A result nobody expects is Utah blowing out USC. Utah ML may be POY.

@Brah

 Utah does not have enough athletes to keep up with USC this year. Way to much speed at WR

Not sure if USC has any players on defense to keep up with UTAH

Hence why they played a 42-43 game earlier this year 

The books clearly taking a position on Utah here. If they were worried about the massive public action they'd have moved the line to 6.

@CaseyMcGehee

  It's just so simple and easy reading lines!    

@Shortporch

 Utah upset Usc on october 15th of this season. For revenge line should be Usc -3.5 to -4

Sharps hitting Utah…. Sharp $1000 money favors little $100 public money any day of the week 

line opened pickem and now a juiced -2.5 and at some books -3.  what position are the books taking?

i've seen mostly Utah bets from cappers here and on twitter.  I think this is U$C's game to lose and the Pac12 would much prefer to have a team from their conference in the final 4 (even if U$C is leaving for the B1G) than being on the outside looking in yet again

@Shortporch

 Sorry, utah was favorite. Didnt cover but they won the game

The books want every capper to know exactly what they're doing and will telegraph it!    

Love it guys try to say the " books" want this or that. 

I am so used to hearing that the NFL or MLB wants.....on here 

@the1toturn2

Or what “Vegas” wants…..

Vegas wants to keep usc & TCU from beating them almost every week but they haven’t been able to catch up

You think maybe they’ve let us win on purpose all year on these two just to trap us tonight ? Hahaha 

this forum is incredible , so good reading how people think & then bet, what an experience 

Good call  I was going to add that but figured "the books" covered it But you know how they are on here  They being the Tin Foil Hat Brigade 

all the $ is on the over  

So

The gift is not usc 

Its under mf 

so… 

70-80% of bets on USC depending where you look and the line is holding at 2.5...

Does anyone even cap anymore? 

there’s games sat too

k st & TCU is a monster game 

eyes on the prize for the books 

@jefff

 There are sharps on both sides of this game. The public is on the bigger name USC. Some sharps laid the early 1.5 that USC open at. When the game was bet up to 3, another crew took it & the market went right back to 2.5, where it sits now. If I see a 3 again at a sharp sportsbook, I'll lay it. If not, it's a pass. I can't bet Utah because I know the conference heads would rather see the more well known USC win to create more revenue in the football payoffs. We'll see how it winds up.

What a dumb take 'everyone knows they struggle on the road'?

It's a neutral site. And they won the title game last year at a neutral site. If you're picking the game based on that then you're an idiot.
