COLORADO +21.5 (2 units)
Posted this one early as I love this spot. Colorado has been playing horrible, they haven't covered a game since their rivalry game with Colorado State back on September 17th. With that said I don't believe they are a horrible team. They have had an incredibly tough schedule that included @ Ohio State, a close loss to WAZU, back to back road losses @ Stanford and @ Washington, then they got hammered at home by Oregon, and finally another loss @ Arizona St. I think everyone can agree that the Buff's have had a tough schedule and a rough start into the PAC 12.
So what is the remedy? A Friday night game in front of the whole country vs a USC team that pretty much played their bowl game last week. Had USC won vs Stanford I'd make this a 3 unit play with a huge letdown factor for USC, but even still they played a triple OT game against Stanford, a game they should have won outright in regulation. I don't see how Lane Kiffin can get his guys mentally prepared for this game on a short week and on the road.
I've always been a fan of playing big home dogs on a weekday national TV game, it seems to bring the best out in the home team and I expect Colorado to show up here.
I don't think USC players are looking ahead to their revenge game against Washington but their coach might be looking ahead to playing his old USC coaching buddy Steve Sarkisian next week and rectify that 1 point loss last season.
After Washington, USC is @ Oregon then finishing up at UCLA. So with those 3 games ahead I think this is an excellent spot for Colorado not only to cover but maybe give USC a run for their money and win it outright.
Good luck to Colorado backers (we may need it)
