See if I can chip a few units back off this late season disaster....
2.5* USC -2.5
1* USC 1H TT O17
1* USC TT O34.5
2* KState ML +105 - Why not give 2 more units to the book on behalf of TCU
2* Purdue 1H +9.5
Not sure I'll have or take the time to put all my thoughts on Purdue on this one as I've whiffed on TT's late but I do think this is a nice situation overall for Purdue even without black and gold glasses. I'm holding the 33-1 ticket on Purdue to win this game outright which of course ain't happening but my current attack is a real belief that Purdue might end up scratching out a tie or small lead at halftime before UM adjustments, physicality, and talent rise to it's level and likely overwhelm for a 34-24 type win come the 4th quarter.
I'm expecting a crisp AOC to be honest and the first perfect weather game for Purdue I believe since Maryland. Brohm 5-1 as a dog of 15+ at Purdue over the years with the one loss at OSU when Purdue put up 30+. Also played incredible well on this turf as a 21+ dog vs Lamar Jackson out of the gate a few years back.
Defense is a dramatically big concern for Purdue in the back half and some weakening recently against the run game for sure but there's been a few scheme adjustments to not isolate overwhelmed DBs vs the start of the year which lead to the PSU/Cuse losses (outside of nonsensical personal fouls) and left DBs on an island against Trey Palmer all day (the dude is still running free in WL last i checked).
Who knows but my hunch is this is a pretty good situation for my boys and it's a bit more uncomfortable than some folks on the other side would want it to be. Maybe more to follow and some TT's on that one
