NCAA Football Betting Preview - UCLA vs. USC to Dominate Pac-10 Talk

[Shame About Ray]

One of the greatest rivalries in all of college football sports betting is the UCLA Bruins vs. the USC Trojans. The Trojans, historically, have had the upper-hand versus the Bruins but all of that looks to change this year in NCAA betting action as new Bruins’ coach Rick Neuheisel, new offensive coordinator Norm Chow, formerly calling plays for the Trojans and the NFL Tennessee Titans, and the return of defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker figure to bring the Bruins back to online betting glory, right?

This Bruins team might even be a BetUS online sportsbook favorite to win the Pac-10 this year! Everybody knows that the coaches are the ones who turn okay college football teams into great college football teams. It’s a given that with Neuheisel, Chow and Walker the Bruins will become automatic studs in the Pac-10, run through their soft schedule with abandon, and then stick it to the USC Trojans in their last regular season game of the season…right? I mean…right?

Uh…no. We shouldn’t be fooled by the fact that the Bruins made an effort to rebuild their coaching program. UCLA understands that in order to become a long-lasting contender in the Pac-10 they needed to find a coach who could recruit. Neuheisel will definitely recruit. They also understood that they needed to find an offensive-coordinator gifted enough to call the right plays for a Neuheisel team. They did that in hiring Norm Chow. Finally, they realized that DeWayne Walker is one of the best defensive-coordinators in college football and retained his services.
