    Is Baylor a Trap vs Villinova?

    Nova has covered both spreads so far and are shooting well

    FWIW I do not see this game being remotely close. This is the classic men vs boys. Hoping I’m wrong...

    I agree with Archie, the previous two 6 point spreads were gifts

    First understand what a trap game is.

    There is no trap game here. Baylor is not looking ahead, nor or they thinking this game is a walk in the bark. Nothing about it smells trap.

    Operational Definitions are key

    there are two interpretation of a trap game

    the sporting fan uses the one you talked about often for the espn talking heads

    but in gambling we have that trap game/trap line terminology that is more about the bookmakers trying to trick you with a fishy line.

    very different things

    neutral courts no such thing as a trap game

    trap games only apply to college hoops and here is what they are

    Baylor lets say ranked 2 in Country........................at Oklahoma who is unranked

    Baylor -2


    Duke on road 10th ranked at St Johns unranked

    PICK EM

    Nothing fishy about a 7.5 line.

    Like I said nothing “smells fishy here”

    The low line seems like a trap for Joe public.

    That is what I meant

    Baylor m/l in another m/l chalk fave may be the best play if you like Baylor.

    Conversely if one likes 'Nova than take a shot on a nice payoff - Nova m/l is +253

    I try to stay clear away from betting 'unders' but +141.5 is high.
    I do like the 1H under for a small wager though.
    Reason being I think Nova may want to slow the pace down some.
    Just my opinion.

    Thanks, that's how I pretty much see it too.

    *edit* first sentence isn't clear enough, I meant to say m/l parlay with Baylor and another chalk m/l team one may like.

    Passing on the side for now, small lean on 'Nova +7.5.
    Like the 1H under total, will probably jump in on some live bets as the game develops, see if I can spot a trend as it develops.

    Baylor is certainly not what I would call a huge team. Illinois, yeah...BAMA, THATS an all around huge team.
    Baylor not so much.

    They are underrated but since Morino seems to like them I'm sure they will lose somehow.
