Never been much of a gambler but that doesn't change the fact that one of the first things I do every Monday morning is look at the upcoming week odds. Always curious to where Vegas thinks they'll get the most play and where they're really trying to bait us fools. Here are some games I think might be a bit off this week and where I'd lay my money.
SOUTH FLORIDA (+7) vs West Virginia
Touchdown favorites on the road against a defense that proven fast enough to contain Pat White and Co.? Combine that with what will be the first ever sellout at South Florida and I'll take my chances with the home team.
PURDUE (-21) vs Notre Dame
The last two years the Boilers have lost by a combined 35 points to the Irish, so don't expect Joe Tiler to call off the dogs the way Mark Dantonio did last weekend. It IS a high spread but this is one of the best Purdue teams since Drew Brees.
PENN STATE (-3) at Illinois
Illini are improved, but not this much.
CALIFORNIA (+5) at Oregon
In case you're curious, the O/U is 72. Great offenses, but it won't be that out of control. Autzen Stadium is a difficult place to play, but consider that the Ducks are so highly ranked because they beat a Michigan team that at the time was emotionally broken. OVER-RATED.
Here's the complete list of lines. Let me know which games you think might be a little askew.
