is TCU +7 a trap?

[alexn]

How are they not favored against the awful Trojans? I think they win outright so +255 looks tasty, but also smells like a trap with 90% of public on TCU and 90% of ML on TCU as well. Any thoughts?

Shit basketball game, but would be a great football game.

I'm on TCU +7 pretty big. They've already won on the road (maybe neutral tourn. games?) against Virginia, Houston, and Evansville. Nobody cares about hoops at USC so I this crowd being about like some preseason tournament in Alaska or Puerto Rico or somewhere.

USC will play better defense than any team they have played all year.
7 points does seem like way too many, but I won't be betting this game.

Even if USC shows to clearly be the better team in this matchup (which I don't believe they are), due to their slow as molasses tempo, they might still have trouble covering 7. I think the only trap here is thinking this line is a trap and taking USC.

This is the classic trap which means no play or take usc due to public play.

That line of thought has burned people so far this season.

Better defense than Virginia? Ummm...no try again.

Don't see how it is a trap. Power conference team with great defense against a TCU team that just got shut down by a similar style team in Nebraska. TCU's D is poor. USC's offense is poor. Which one capitalizes there is the key. I took TCU personally because USC hasn't shown the ability to break out offensively, but will not be shocked if SC clamps down on them and wins by double digits.

i've been fading usc all year on certain games (so far so good)... hope the streak continues. i don't see how a style of play like usc can cover that many points. line moved to 7.5, now back to 7 and not many bets placed on this game to make me sweat the movement.

Lovin the Under 117 (got it earlier), and TCU a lil ... Will be shocked if either of these teams gets to 60

[dredmahawkus]

line at 8 now! its a trap!

[alexn]

Trappppppppp

Jesus. I've been WAYYYY off the last few days. If you told me prior to the game, TCU would score 59 points here....I would've felt great about my TCU +7 bet. Who had USC scoring 80+ points in this game?
