What is a trap game in sports betting?

What is a trap game in sports betting? ...to win this game. It's Gingell again — he lines up from 37 yards out, and App State, who has fought so bravely — Are they about to lose? David Jackson and Steve Brown, the App State radio guys, have got the call. The Mountaineers have just beat the Michigan Wolverines! Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time. Jerry Moore gets a ride off the field. What a win. That was September 2007 — Appalachian State, from the division BELOW, walking into the Big House against number-five Michigan and blocking the game-winning field goal as time expired. On paper it wasn't even a game. That's the thing about a trap: it never looks like one. A game where the favorite might overlook an opponent. In plain terms: a big favorite, a small opponent, and a giant matchup waiting the following week. The line looks easy — which is exactly why it might be a trap. “Packers have covered their last four on the road, but this week's Denver, and that altitude's no joke — don't get sucked into that trap game.” Let's use this example. A contender is minus ten against the worst team in the division, with the conference title game looming the next week. Everyone piles on the favorite; the flat, distracted performance shows up instead. Nothing mystical — just attention, priced badly. Lines and prices can differ by sportsbook. Nothing here guarantees a result or tells you to bet. Lines move and books differ. Nothing here is a guarantee or a command to bet — it's how the number works.
