Take the points and the over. (Easy enough for me to say because I don't bet).Ummm... I might even take us in that one. Thought it wouldve been in the 18-22 area. The over is 58, which is also tempting.
As a long time lurker, here is my take on the money...I took SU +30 (bought the points). SU is improved, in every way, over last year (excluding punt coverage). Last year's game at the Coliseum was a better performance than the final score. Don't discount the west coast to east coast, day game factor. That, along with USC over confidence covers 30 and probably 24. NW game I had SU +4(again bought the points) HEAVY but still felt like I got kicked in the gut. I also took SU at 25 to 1 to win the Big East. After NW, I wished I had bet more on SU ($300). 25 to 1 is called VALUE. I thought it would come down to the Louisville game and still do (if Nassib stays healthy). I was born and raised in CNY and bleed Orange. With that said...I bet with my head not my heart. I am not saying to bet on SU... if your smart you won't bet at all (I give good advice but don't take it). As a side note... Last year I took SU to win OVER 5.5 games at + 220 for every$100 wagered and KNEW after the Rutgers game I was toast. So take that for what it's worth.the guys who set the line recommended +24 to the books. The early money is almost exclusively Trojan (as of 7:30pm tonight 94% of all money has been Trojan) and its jumped up to 27. I'll be curious where the late money on Friday takes the line.

I'd be tempted to tease this one to SU +33 and take the over at 52. That's right Trebeck.
I love the BE odds. Is that bet still open?
