Folks, I am ready to put a stack on Ball St. Am I missing something with this one? Laying 10.5 seems like a great play. I would love some feedback on where I am off.

No, there are ill-informed people who do not understand how lines are made. Those exist in droves (particularly on this forum).
Traps, however, do not exist.
This is just silly. Whether you choose to call them traps is a matter of semantics.
The Texas @ TCU game is a classic example. TCU has looked pretty pedestrian, has a losing record, and lost their last game by 2 TDs.
Texas is coming off the big rivalry win over OU and a bye week after saving their coach's job. Texas is back baby!
People are pushing each other out of the way to bet on Texas. And you get +110. Man, that's too good to be true.
This line could have been set at Texas -3 and still gotten a lot more Texas action. It probably could have been set at Texas -4.5 to get pretty even action. Instead it's Texas +2 and people are falling all over themselves to bet on Texas.
If you don't want to call that a trap, that's fine. A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. But, it's a trap for Texas backers, get a + return on their money line bets.
