The Fashionable USC-Colorado Pick
When Rick Neuheisel and Aaron Taylor of CBS Sports are picking Colorado to beat USC, it’s becoming a little too trendy. Now you can say Neuheisel went to UCLA and coached at Colorado or Taylor went to Notre Dame, but it’s still becoming a little too fashionable when USC is a 7-point favorite. Who will win? Who knows? But either Neuheisel and Taylor really hate … Continue reading The Fashionable USC-Colorado Pick
