Pac 10 Week 8

[UoweDucks]

Ducks, I had the same thought(s) about the USC total. However, my only concern is that I hate being on an OVER when only one team is going to do all the scoring.

I agree w/ you on CAL/AZ. I got the Bears at +1 early in the week and if I see AZ +3, I'll also take a shot at the middle.

Agree on betting totals in depending on just one team. But this bet feels like a winner. USC is in a position in which they have to not just win but win impressively. If I felt like WSU even had a pulse I would not bet it. Going into this year I felt like WSU would be the worst team in the conference. At this point I have to say that this WSU is the worst P10 team that I have EVER seen in following this conference for 20+ years. I do not believe that this team will be competitive in any game it plays for the remainder of the year. Not even UW.

Amazing...

We saw it coming months ago but this is beyond anything I expected.

I only wish my sportsbook offered the 4 wins total that we were seeing out there. At least I got UW under 4.5 wins. I have a lot of buddies who went to wsu. I feel bad for them. My UW buddies? eh, not so much.

• UW/OSU: Should have pulled the trigger on OSU yesterday when I saw -13.5. News came out about UW injuries on Oline. Bulyca out. That hurts. I still may decide to lay the 2 td but only for a smaller bet.

I don't know what you will decide now Ducks. I just saw Oregon St. jump to 16 or 16.5 most everywhere. I'd still bet them @ 17. I think they'll win this game easily going away (24+ points.) There's nothing UW's D can do to stop the Beavers from scoring though they are not as bad as the Cougs... but down there pretty low just the same. This may be the last time UW puts up a scratch. They lose this and they hang up their cleats for the year, if they haven't done so already.

Just wondering if you have a feel about this attitude prevailing up in WA? They speak of TW resigning or being fired mid-season, but that's only a possibility, not a probability. I guess it's local politics.

Then there's the team... none of the players have a clue about what they will be doing next season. I can see this team imploding, even with TW in charge, which is strange if you think about it.

I can't see the UW firing TyWil mid-season...that is stuff for the hicks down south who don't have any perspective..too much class in this area to pull that.....been wrong before though.

Haven't seen much attitude or fight from the players. Neither have we seen much of an outcry of support for their coach. I think that they are resolved to what will happen and will quietly finish out the year. If you saw dissension in the ranks and it hit the papers then they might fire him. But their AD has said publicly many times that he would assess things after the year was over.

I have decided to middle the CAL/AZ game. I do think this one is close and the opportunity to minimize risk and win the bet on both sides is too good to pass up.

Adding
AZ +3 (120) 1 unit

Recap
USC -42.5, 1.5 unit
USC/WSU over 55, 1 unit
CAL pick, 1 unit
AZ +3 (120), 1 unit

Well that Cal/Zona game seems to be shaping up as the conference game of the week. I'm sticking to my guns but nothing too big. Going with the team with the most talent, speed and size. I'll be watching with a lot of interest. Hope you hit your middle.

Ducks...It looks like a tough week to cap the PAC-10. The Cal-Zona game should be interesting..I have a feeling that Stoops job is on the line in that game..I'm also thinking about taking Washington +16. I heard that Wash. has had this game circled on their calender since Locker got knocked out of the game last year by what the players are calling a cheap shot..Plus this is another game where the head coach is up to his neck in quicksand..Something tells me these players still want to play for him....Good luck

Yep, I have to say I think that the new line for UW/OSU is very much on the high side.

 

[UoweDucks]

I am so glad that I didn't play that stanford game.

Was thinking about the over tonight cal/az. May put it in.

How bad is wsu?

 

[UoweDucks]

Made up my mind on final bet of the day. Thinking we'll see plenty of offense tonight.

Adding:
CAL/AZ OVER 53, 1 unit

 

[UoweDucks]

Won't be touching anything second half. Liking what I am seeing so far. Have a shot at a very nice day here. Is it me or does Stoops body language inspire zero confidence?

Recap
USC -42.5, 1.5 unit W
USC/WSU over 55, 1 unit W
CAL pick, 1 unit
AZ +3 (120), 1 unit
CAL/AZ OVER 53, 1 unit

 

[UoweDucks]

CAL pick, 1 unit L
AZ +3 (120), 1 unit W
