USC will be playing more than a mile above sea level in 40 degree, cold, thin air. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that the vast majority of the team has never played in those conditions. For the kids from SoCal, it's going to hurt to breathe and probably be a physically uncomfortable game. I think they still win against a dreadful CU team, but I like CU at +21.5. Also keep in mind that USC is coming off a tough loss and is suspect against weak opponents (beat Minnesota by two earlier this season).

Odd, you're not mattg.

Yeah, I also took CU +13 1H and under 58.5 for game. The half-point over 3 TDs isn't much, but I won't be surprised if it makes the difference.

I got it at +21.5 last night on blowdog. Now it's +21 (-120) there. My local has it down to 20 and o/u 57. Might try to middle this bish.

Edit: Bought the hook for USC -19.5 with my local. Come on 20 or 21!

Anyone saying take USC in this game doesn't bet sports profitably over a long run. Sure USC could cover this game but it's such an awful spot for them. And to the guy who said it should be 28, why do you think Vegas opened it at 21 and now it's 20 at most spots? Vegas loves people like you

Wait, we are talking about University of Southern California vs. Colorado right? The same Colorado that lost by 34 to ASU, 43 to Oregon, 28 to UW, and 41 to Stanford.

I doubt USC will win by less than 28. I will jack off a mile above sea level in 30 degree weather wearing a buffalo mask if they do.

if sportsbetting were as easy as picking the good teams to cover vs the bad teams, we'd all be rich.

actually we wouldn't, there would be no bookies.

this dude knows of what he speaks.

Were in trouble, I like CU also and got it @ +22. People are right, CU isn't very good, but neither is USC tbh. and oh yeah, Ctrl Mich ftmfw

CU can cover this, but they are bad, really bad. You could argue that USC had a short week, let down loss, and the altitude, but CU is terrible. When everything is so against 1 team, statistically cu is terrible, by the eye test they are terrible, by the injury report they are terrible, from the HC position they are terrible, it's probably the spot to pick them and I do usually, I just don't see it tonight but GL to you guys.

haha dammit I should consult you before I make these bets. I just hate betting one game, if there are 2 games that night I'd rather get action on both of them. Like my fellow Minneapolis citizen crtierney says I do NOT bet sports profitably!

I agree with this. That said, I made a small bet on USC just so I have a better reason to drink tonight.
