1st Half down to USC -11.5 at -120
A more interesting play to me is:
1st Quarter Total at 10.5 +100
With Hawaii being ranked 103rd last year in rush defense and only returning 5 on defense, I would think USC will run the ball at will on them. I would picture a pretty quick score, possible 3 and out or maybe one 1st down for Hawaii, but USC getting the ball back pretty quick and punching in another TD. Don't forget that Monte Kiffin runs the defense and he's a defensive legend. Not sure if I'll play this because I've already put in too many plays for the first day and said I was NOT going to do that! But it's tempting at +100. I just think USC will rip off big chunks of yardage on the ground and make some nice check down passes to get a quick score. I have a feeling that Kiffin and those guys will want to run up the scores every time they get a chance this season, just to try and stick it to everybody.

Will, sounds like a good bet and although I didn't bet a ton of games I do have a chunk on a couple. Looks like I will split and Eat the juice.
I'm gonna check my book on this bet, I believe I will take Hawaii and the +21 for sure though.
