UofAz v USC 1st Half Bet?
 

USC vs UofArizona
1st Half : UofArizona +21.5 (+107) @ Pinny

USC has played two HORRIBLE first halfs in a row now, is Arizona really that bad and do we really expect Pete C to get the boys of Troy going big in the 1st half this week? This seems like it has some value, but I'd like to hear more expert opinion on it.

Those last two games were against top level competition and on the road. They've only had one game at home, vs Arkansas, and they rolled BIG and in a hurry in that game. I know Arizona's D is better than Arkansas', but they really haven't played that well this year.

USC is at home. Arizona is terrible. I don't see any value in this. Maybe if you just wanna do half a unit, but I wouldn't even do that.

You're gonna wanna push us OFF the ledge if it hits. lol

Since I'm horrible at evaluating college teams, I can't speak with authority but I'm really surprised to see the line this high, given USC's well-known struggles in the first half.

At first I thought it might be worth a small gamble, but now I'm thinking- trap line?

Yes! Exactly! There are trap lines EVERYWHERE. They are taking over the sports betting world. Soon, there will be NOTHING but trap lines. In fact, BOTH sides will be trap lines. This is actually true of most bets already! It's called the vig, or juice. These damn bookies want to make money off us losers.

So, you're guaranteeing that USC wins by exactly 21 in the first half?

Re: UofAz v USC 1st Half Bet?
 

I think USC's problem in the first half so far has been mostly due to playing on the road at tough stadiums. They had the same problem last year but were a lot better at home. And yes, Arizona is that bad. If I was going to put on this it'd be on USC.
