00:00How about USC and Oregon Saturday, 3.30 kickoff, a big game in the Big Ten as USC travels to Oregon.

00:07This line opened up around a touchdown favorite, Joe, but now we're creeping closer to tens in the marketplace in a 59 and a half total.

00:13Seems to me, Joe, it's one of those eliminator games that we're going to have.

00:17Six and one in conference play, USC. Six and one in conference play, Oregon Ducks.

00:21The loser just might be out of the picture altogether in the Big Ten and also in the playoff race.

00:26What's your spread line for this one?

00:27Well, we wanted to keep an eye on this one.

00:30We mentioned it on Monday and we wanted to see where the line would go by the time we got a little bit later in the week.

00:37And you're right, Donnie. I mean, we saw this thing open up nine and a half, 58 and a half.

00:41We did see initial Oregon money push this thing up to double digits.

00:47But funny thing happened yesterday, Donnie.

00:49I am seeing all the tickets and majority of the money on Oregon.

00:54And yet I've seen this line go back to where we started at nine and a half.

00:59So there is a line in the sand here with this number in double digits.

01:05It appears the more influential bettors are taking the points.

01:09Anytime you get the 10, they're hammering it back to nine and a half.

01:12They'll take the 10 with USC.

01:15So I don't know that we're going to get much more than what you're seeing here.

01:19But ultimately, maybe the best way to look at this is the total one way or the other,

01:24because it appears we're probably going to be getting a few points in this one.
