*I'll post a breakdown of this week's games sometime tomorrow ....instead of all at once.....as lines won't move much anyway......
In last 20 years....only 19 or so (of around 525 games)
have seen line movements of more than 4 points
*according to Vegas Insider........BTW...the team that the line moved 'toward'....is 12-6-1 ATS
note > I'm sure they're using an opening line once it has 'settled'.....disregarding crazy openers at small books/casinos trying to drum up some biz....'cuz it seems like many more than 19.......
.
THORPE.....you better watch out fading USC ....

*tough one to handicap....overriding factor here ?
Ga Tech STINKS....and plays poorly in bowls..(0-7 SU / 1-6 ATS run)......with a weak pass D and poor ST.....
* and vs good teams > GT #102 D.....#120 on 3rd down
$$ ....the smart thing to do ....when both teams motivation is in question...might be to play the OVER (this case)...and forget it...which is what I'll prob do....
But with Trojans out of a bowl the last 2 yrs....and this being Barkley's last game....I view this as a going away party kinda thing....if their 'bubble' had been burst LATE .....instead of EARLY (week 3)....it would be different
--------------------------------------------------------------------
BTW......I've got some pretty good technical numbers for each game and for each team...(will post with each game breakdown)....here 9 of last 11 Sun Bowls have gone OVER......the DOG....has covered 14 of last 16......cough.......BUT the Pac12 is 11-2-1 ATS here
*Trojans are 7-1 SU/ATS in bowls.....and 5-1 OVER.....av 39 pts/g.....LK a key part of those teams
