    Default Yet another futures lock! So Cal Over 11 wins

    2007 NCAA Football Regular Season Wins - USC (Regular Season). Team must play all regular season games for action. Bowl and Conference Championship games not count towards wager. No Parlays. Max $600
    11 (-105)o
    11(-125)u
    If they drop 1 its a push. They play 12. That Neb game is early and even though I think they will pound the Huskers it is on the road. The end stretch is a little scary too with Cal and Ariz St on the road followed by UCLA. USC doesnt like to play 3 good games in a row without taking one off. But luckily the 1st tough one is against Cal. I'm popping the over thinking worse case is a push.

    Time/Result
    Sep 1 Idaho 10:15pm
    Sep 15 @Nebraska 8:00pm
    Sep 22 Washington St. 8:00pm

    I wouldn't call it a lock at all John, but I do like the over 11 myself.

    eehhhh... I don't like it... too many road games late and there is too little room for error... A major injury and you're hit... I would say the BCS would be better value....

    SC loses a minimum of 2 games this year.

    Here's a winner: Wisconsin under 9.5.

    USC 12-0 this year? You've got to be kidding yourself. USC is the best team in the country and will play in the chip even if they have an early loss, but I put their chances of going undefeated under 15%.

    Pac-10 is just way too deep with way too many dangerous teams this year. This year, USC will be playing lower scoring games than you're used to seeing, and that means that a defensive or special teams touchdown and a good day for the other team or a bad day by USC or a key injury at a critical time is all it takes to sink them.

    USC could very easily lose at Cal or ASU or Oregon, and @ UW and Nebraska are not gimmies either. UCLA and Arizona should be tough too, but USC gets them at home.

    If I didn't think that season long futures weren't such terrible bets for so many different reasons, I would be all over USC under 11.

    Care to list those reasons when you have time?

    I had SC under last year and they pushed with the loss to UCLA. They will win as many as possible to screw your wager.

    It seems like a long time ago when this didn't seem that bad.
