Everyone and their mother loves Oklahoma tonight, probably a great reason to take USC.

Actually, that's one of the worst reasons to bet a game I've ever heard.

It's not like the game opened up at OU -1 with the public perception that SC should be the favorite. In that case, OU is probably a good bet.

In this case with the line making that kind of move so late, I think SC bettors (myself included) should be at least a little concerned that so much money came in at the last minute on OU.

I think this is a toss-up. Before the bowls started, I really thought USC would beat OU due to OU's lack of pass defense. After seeing the Pac 10 in the bowls, I have changed my mind. I think there is equally as a good a chance that OU crushes USC.

One note for the people who didn't follow them all year, Texas Tech is really not as good as they looked in the bowl. Cal was simply that much worse. Doesn't give me a lot of confidence in USC.

Have OU at +3 from a while back, but just put a few bills on the under at 52. Also a small parlay on OU and the under.

is a good reason to take USC. Always go against the public. you will win in the longrun.
