The contest closes to weekly entries on Friday October 7, 2022 at 5pm P.T.

This Post will be updated throughout the week.

Please remember, this is supposed to be about fun and Trojan camaraderie.
There are no entry fees.
Every participant will receive 20,000 betting units.
You must bet a minimum of 1 game and 1,000 units each week
There will be a limited number of games to choose from each week.
The contest ends on December 4, 2022.
I will post the point spread for each week’s games on Monday
All wagers must be received by Friday at noon PT. (Exact date will posted weekly)
Wagers must be posted on the TDB (preferred) or they can be emailed to: info@trojandailyblog.com.
I will review each wager to make sure that it was correctly placed. I will then respond to your entries to let you know that they have been accepted.
If you do not see your wager acknowledgement please contact me as soon as possible by posting a comment on the blog prior to the first game you have wagered on.
If a game is cancelled or moved to another date, then that game will not be counted as a bet (no action).
Winning wagers will be paid as ‘even money’, for example; if you bet 1,000 units, you will win 1,000 units.
The winner will be determined by who has the most betting units in their account at the end of the contest.
I will keep track of everyone’s account and this accounting will be posted on TDB on Monday. Please review my figures. If you think that a mistake has been made you must contact me by 9pm Monday – otherwise these numbers will be considered official.
First Prize is: 150.00
Second Prize is: 75.00
Third Prize is: 25.00
If two people end up in first place, then the first and second prize will be added together and that amount will be split between the two winners.
I will handle all disputes and my decision will be final.
Anyone can be removed from the contest for exhibiting poor sportsmanship, as determined by me.
By making wagers on the games you acknowledge you agree to these rules.

Do not feel confident this week about either USC or UCLA. Too many points for SC and I do not know what to make of UCLA or Utah. I think both SC and Utah win but UCLA is simply too unpredictable.

I just hope DTR isn’t as reliable as he was against USC last season when he led the Bruins to a record 62 points while passing for 349 yds and four TDs, and scoring twice more on the ground.

The upcoming battle between DTR and Caleb could be pretty epic.

I can’t bet against USC and don’t like the -12.5, so I will root for the Utes to take it to SUCLA and hope it takes some steam out of the Utes for next week.

Could this be the famous “trap” game for Utah?

I am thinking the Bruins are a little too fat and happy this week, and Utah is going to be motivated for maximum respect ahead of their game with us. Of course, just as easily, Utah could get caught looking ahead and get destroyed. I am not very good at this stuff lately!

Ya, these things are so tricky, as the people who set the lines know so well.

With all the hell UCLA football has been through lately (actually for the past many years), I have a hard time believing they’ll be overconfident against UTAH. Just like I don’t believe USC will be overconfident against WSU, either.

I should have learned my lesson betting against Ucla and bad odds for USC, but… (I’ll be at the game so I can get the late interception hollered into the end zone.)
USC -12.5 for 2,500
TCU – 7.5 for 500
Utah – 4.5 for 1000
Oregon- 7.5 for 1,000

Somewhere closer to the field. But you’ll be able to spot. Me I’ll be the one wearing USC boat shoes.
