Trace Adams
Here you go guys.
Trace Adams 1500* - Southern Cal Trojans, 500* - Florida w/Sanchez over Balester Possible "lull" spot for the Trojans who haven't played since drilling Ohio State 35-3, while Oregon State comes into this big home date with a confidence-building 45-7 rout of Hawaii.
It should also be noted that USC hasn't had it easy on their trips to Corvallis, as they have lost 2 of their last 3 trips there outright, and have failed ALL 3 against the spread.
Still, with no threat of imclement weather forecasted, I can't see how the Beavers who did lose to Penn State by a 45-14 count stay with this Trojans team.
I feel sure Pete Carroll will not need to remind his team of the past troubles they have had played at Corvallis, and I expect the Trojan "D" to make life miserable for whoever is under center for State tonight.
Throw in the fact the Beavers have a very young defense, and Mark Sanchez and his mates should eventually pull away and cover this big number.
Yes, this is a lot of points on the road, but SC has covered 6 of their last 7 on the highway, including their 52-7 pasting of Virginia earlier this year.
Lay the lumber!
1500♦ - Southern Cal Trojans
On the diamond, going with Florida over Washington.
The Marlins snapped a 4-game slide with the win last night, as the Nats have now lost 6 of their last 7 games.
Florida is now 7-1 in games played in DC this year, and 14-3 overall in the season series, and I just don't see them losing in this spot.
Sanchez is 1-0 in his 2 starts against the Nationals, while Balester is fresh off 5 innings of 5 run ball in a home no decision against San Diego.
Lay the small road chalk on Florida based on the dominant season series numbers they sport against Washington this year.
