    Is Texas the biggest trap of year?

    Im big on Texas but I really feel like this is a fishy line. Texas should win this game but that means nothing.

    Tonight, we win for the public. We win for the squares and degenerates. Tonight, we're right, and vegas is wrong.

    This game is interesting. I first saw the line and my initial reaction was too pound Texas. However, I stopped like most of you and considered the trap.

    Texas is playing damn good right now, but unless anyone sees something I'm not, it'll be a NP. Just too strange a line, and short dogs at home have been cashing frequently lately.

    BOL!

    Texas A&M is no slouch and they are very tough at home. Texas is a young team that wills struggle in a hostile environment. The line does seem a bit low, but I don't think its as big of a trap as some people think. Still on texas (small). Like their balance on offense. 65-61 final.

    They struggled their way to a double digit win at Kansas which is a far more intimidating place to play.

    For all of you who think TX is too easy, and a trap..
    must not be looking at Texas' last 8 trips @ A&M.
    Lost by effectively 10 or more ATS last 6.
    To me, its easy to take A&M based on this.
    I'd tend to look at TX as a contrarian position rather than the easy one.

    Texas loses. College teams can go from playing real good to not so good in a day.

    Brandon Lang on Texas A&M enough said. Don't overthink the line when that jackass is on the the side.

    If that's your logic then you shouldn't bet on any games.

    Well spank my monkey, Wisdom.

    Your contrarian Wayne Smoke My Root trends seem to make me wanna go all in on the Aggies. Specially since we have a new line-up of players in 2011 vs who was playing there in 2010 and who really gives a shit who was playing there 09,08,07,06,05,04,03.

    You hang in there Sunshine, hope that works out for ya.....

    the line should be 4 but books are giving you a gift and you wouldn't take texas -1 for that.

    I bet this game because my power ranking is Texas -4.5 and this lines up with several other objective numerical indicators that I like to mix in to the final solution.

    So I feel Texas is easily the better team by 8 points on a neutral court, the problem is I am in dissent both with the line movement and with several sharp players I have spoken to. Texas is definitely the "square" side.

    From what I've heard people have been camping outside of Reed Arena for tickets and a good spot for days. I'm not saying AtM is going to win but weird things happen when this program plays at home. They haven't lost at home in god knows how long and they are coming off a lazy road loss to nebraska which should do nothing but fire them up. Also Texas could be coming in cocky and overconfident. Just look at Hamilton when he steps on the floor. What a cocky dude. Who knows though. Good luck to all. Im laying off this one.

    A and M is unbeaten at home and is also ranked....the difference between these teams isn't as big as people think...heck Duke was much better then St John's and the weaker home team crushed. People are looking for an angle....Texas is better..A and M is a monster at home...looks like a small play either way.
