I'd have to say Buffalo +2.5 is a huge trap.  When was the last time that anybody bet on Temple to win a game?

NV's D agaisnt the pass is pathetic. they've given up 70 pts in 2 games, 7 thru the air. Mizzou will throw all over them.  NV is 1 dimensional on O, kapernick is not a great passer and you know where that leads. (see Ga.Tech).
this is like last week Boise @ fresno. lay the TD

I think you might be off and here's why..

the 3 previous weeks, your team's # either stayed the same (Cuse toggled between 6.5 and 7, but never higher and UCONN, toggled between 4 and 4.5, but never higher) or moved in favor of the team (Miami anywhere from -3 to -6).

However, the number never went away from the team- IE. Arizona opening at -2.5 and now at +2.5. This swing away from the trap team, doesn't really make it a trap game at all.  Just an adjustment made by the oddsmakers in putting out a bad # from the start..

but in all of the other games you posted you listed the team that was the trap first... Minn, UNC, GT... so it seems like you are saying here that Ariz is the trap... might want to fix that...

oh i see... was just a coincidence that the first team listed in the first 3 games was the trap side...
 
also agree with BBallday about the line movement the 3 previous weeks... line moving from +3 to -3 definitely does not have the indication of a trap...

I'd have to say Mid Tenn st is a big trap this week.  I like N Texas to pull the upset.

the fact that the line has swung 5-6 points is a little to me, i woulda had to agree with you if the line stayed as zona being favored, i will lay off this one most likely.

After a week of praise.. Florida State could play down to their competition again.
 
That might be the trap.

What about Stanford -7 against Washington?  Gotta think the public will be all over Wash after the big upset last week.

is this a serious post?

USC could play this game 100 times and never lose... in fact, it would never be less than a 2 TD margin of victory... maybe not less than 3 TDs...
