Oregon line opened at -12 and is now -17. I liked the line when it was under 14. I'd stay away now.

Taking the favorite in every match up and all covering the line? Way to take risks lol.

From a betting point of view, taking all 5 favorites minus the points is just as risky as taking all five of the underdogs plus the points.

I was just pointing out taking every favorite and all of them to cover isn't very bold. I'm sure at least one won't cover if nothing else.

What underdogs do you see winning?

Yeah, that comment didn't make a lot of sense. From a betting standpoint, taking either team should be about the same risk

Utah playing this game without their star RB. I still like Utah to win but it probably makes things tougher

lol

I've never understood people trying to talk shit that someone didn't "take a risk" or make a "bold" bet.

If the idea is to win the bet, then betting on the team that is less likely to win seems more stupid than bold.

Maybe some folks just don't like money?

Or is it better to lament what you "could have won"?

I don't really gamble, so what am I missing?

Picking Arizona, California and Stanford this week is bold. That said, you're probably going 0-3 this week. But at least you were bold!

All I said is it wasn't exactly a hot take. He's free to be as boring as he wants.

#8 Oregon (-31) at Colorado
California at #9 USC (-19.5)
#10 UCLA (-10.5) at Arizona State
Arizona at #12 Utah (-16.5)

Glad the Beavers have finally been released from PacNetwork Prison and are on ESPN2 this Friday night!
