Play: Point Spread: +21/-110 Arizona
Guys, after this Saturday, I will be a wanted man. Wanted by the authorities for MURDERING THE BOOKS! I have my first NCAAF SHOCKER & CRUSHER PLAYS along with my 3-1 (44-16 overall) HIGH ROLLER & my 4-1 (34-11 overall) ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE. If you join me Saturday, you will SWEEP THE BOARD. But beware, you will be my accomplice in murder (LOL)!!! Saturday’s FREE WINNER: Arizona Wildcats. Game 375. 7:30 PM PST/10:30 PM EST. Guys, before you get in a big huff about me choosing Arizona against USC this week, take a deep breath and read my entire analysis (LOL). I'm not going to argue the fact the Trojans don't deserve to be the ninth ranked team in the nation. I mean come on, their offense is absolutely amazing. They rank first in college football in scoring, third in total yards, fourth in passing, and 50th in rushing. I'm also not going to argue quarterback, Caleb Williams, as of this point, is a definite Heisman-candidate. No question, head coach, Lincoln Riley has put together a hell of an offensive juggernaut. This in turn will certainly attract millions of dollars from other universities wanting to come and visit them. And tons of recruits wanting to show off their talents for NFL scouts. That's all well and good. But let's be very, very honest, this team has totally given up on defense. And yet the oddsmakers are still overvaluing them each week. They covered against Nevada and Stanford. But couldn't get bettors paid, failing to cover against San Jose State, Arizona State, and Colorado. As a matter fact, the last few opponents, the Sun Devils, and the Buffaloes, had them on the ropes. Guys, I'm not going sit here and argue that Arizona is going to take the conference. They won’t. Let's face it, they're just 3-2 straight up with wins against Northern Arizona, UTEP, and Stanford. They did come close against Mississippi State on the road as well as Washington at home, two teams that they on paper, are far inferior from. But this team does cover the pointspread, going 4-1 ATS this season. They have a less than stellar offense, but certainly strong enough to move the chains against the USC defense. Defensively, they hardly slowed down the Bulldogs and the Huskies, but they did play strong enough on both sides of the ball to keep those contests close. I doubt they're going to make this one too easy for the Trojans here. The status of quarterback, Jayden de Laura is still uncertain as of this post. But backup play-caller, Noah Fifita was good enough to compete last week against Washington. If he gets to start this week, I expect him to do the same. And with Notre Dame up next on the road at South Bend, perhaps Southern Cal might be in a “look ahead” mode or at the very least, take their foot off the gas come the second half. This is way too many points to give a very game, Arizona team. Take the Wildcats. Thank you.
