usc laying 4.5 which it opened is not very strong imo, this only tells me if usc is home they are favored by bout 8-10pts and if they thought what everyone thinks that SC just plows everyone around this year then that line would reflect opening at 7 to 8 in OSU then it'd get bet heavy up and they would get alot of suckers and believers that osu could hang within 9 or 10 of usc and then eventually get raped by 3 td's again, this isnt the case here that line wants you to jack it up IMO
