75% of action is on USC yet the line just dropped from 21.5 to 20...

Doesn't make sense...

Because some people are putting big bets down on Colorado at home thinking USC will be sleep-walking through this one after that devastating loss to Stanford last weekend.

It would have to be some huge fuckin bets to move the line that much when 75% of the action is on USC...

Line is WAY too high.  It's going to keep dropping.

I have seem some of your plays and I definitely respect your opinion. I just don't see how USC drags themselves out of bed for this game tonight especially with coach Kiffin. I could see with a good coach. Lane is a terrible coach

Why ? USC can win by 40 if they please. Its a hard line to throw out imo. 6 straight lost ATS and the last 2 games Colorado was a fav of OVER 30 points and didnt cover LOL. Its clear with potential RLM, that people believe in a terrible 'letdown' though. Gonna in game this one for sure to see if SC shows up with tremendous effort

You couldn't be more right. Wait and see which USC shows up, otherwise this is a pure coinflip. 

I bet on RLM last night and the "sharps" (not a huge fan of that term) were wrong by a mile, no guarantee USC doesn't win by 40.

Will be taking Kent State -1 and under 44 (hope the total raises a 1/2 pt or I'll have to pay -118 to get 44) and watching USC game for in-game betting (don't care to watch that MAC shit show)

Vegas just got confirmation from lane and monty that usc will be point shaving.

Lane makes some dumb calls, but the guy can call a good game (ie. Cal, Notre dame, even Stanford until the end) and develop players.

love the SC hating coming from a big-10 Ohio st homer that only hates on SC because SC bitch-slaps the big-10 every chance they get

Not sure on this game tonight, I could see us blowing them out like 35-7 or just a lackadazical effort like 27-17, tough one to call

My only guess why the line is dropping on game day is the weather...it is not USC type weather. Regardless, I couldnt bet Colorado with my worst enemies money. Good luck...not touching this shitfest with a 10 ft pole.

Its all out MAC mania on ESPN this week. FWIW, letdown scenarios are golden this year it seems. Wouldnt shock me if SC is a bit flat tonight so on that alone; i edge CU.

Las vegas is very good at what they do. bring the line under the 3 TDs, that kills off the sharps looking for the best value, & creates more action on the trap.

I agree that USC SHOULD roll by 25 or 30.  The bad weather, wondering whether they bounch back from the Stanford game and all the other "ifs" is why they call it betting.  The line dropping like it has today makes me wonder, but I was thinking about taking them at -21, so -20 just makes it more attractive.  Again, it's a gamble!!
