Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

Tom's Analysis:
This is one of those times when I'm betting on the team I know wants to be there. Chase Garbers and the Cal players lobbied to get this game postponed instead of canceled. Meanwhile, USC players seem like they just want to move on from the season and get started on next season. I think that'll show in the results.
