Default USC a 45 point favorite

I saw today that they are a 45 point favorite against Washington this week. I thought with a spread that large they take the game off of the betting line.

Poor Huskies.

I have a UW friend that swore this would be a winning season...even after he saw their first game.

With Willingham gone it's a wild card. But I think taking USC and giving the 45 is the smart money here. After last week's very mortal performance USC will want to pile it on.

45 points is a ton of points I don't care who SC is playing. Stay away from that bet.

Exactly. 19-10 last week. Though AZ is much better than UW. Still, that's 6 and a half TDs. I'd take UW in that one.

USC a 40+ favorite at home, still in contention for a shot at the NC.....what's the worst that could possibly happen?

Yeah, what was the line for the Stanford game? About 42, I think.

Washington has only covered the spread once this season, it was in week 2.
