How did Vegas underestimate?? The 49ers are on a three game winning streak without him. And yes the idea of a trap game is an illusion, at least to the players and coaches it should be. The term trap game is mostly used by fans, media and gamblers.

it takes time to adjust to a starter missing the season. It isnt just a plug and play situation.

Yea. Well I guess vegas underestimated how important Mosely was to our defense. The idea of a trap game is an illusion. A term made up to explain why superior teams sometimes lose to inferior teams. The NFL is a game of matchups. Some teams matchup better than others and injuries play a huge role in those matchups.

Absolute nonsense. Trap games aren't an illusion, they explain how human nature, human psychology, can influence the outcome of a game. It's not based on matchups alone 😂

Again, Mosely injured didn't hurt the odds at all. I'm beginning to think some of you don't understand what a trap is.

i dont think you do

a trap game isnt based on vegas odds its did the 49ers as a team look over an opponent

our entire DL was injured that game and that's not a good recipe when you play a power running team. Also remember guys like Trent Williams were out too

we were just injured and the oddsmakers and betters were not paying attention

A trap game isn't based on Vegas odds, what!!! Then why does the media (ESPN-NFLN) and every sports station list NFL odds next to each game.

Lol do you think the players say to each other, oh know this might be a trap game for us. Smh

And you're talking past tense, things that happened in the game. I'm talking about the team pre-tense when they were favored.

That's what im saying i dont think you understand

a trap game would be a team not preparing enough for a team because the team thinks they are easy to beat so they come off unprepared.

The Vegas odds are designed so 50% of bettors bet for eah side many people betting didnt know about a lot of our injuries.

Saints are tied for 4th most sacks in the league and only blitz 20% of the time. So they are getting home with their front consistently. They only give up an average of 195 ypg through the air while facing some of the top passing offenses in the league this season. Chances are they will come out looking to shut our run game down early. Should we pass to set up the run or run to set up the pass in this game?

Pass to set up the run like we did against Arizona on Monday night. Let the playmakers make plays!

The idea of trap games is what is absolute nonsense. This isn't baseball, basketball or hockey where they can afford to overlook games on the schedule. In a 17 game season, every game is important. No one in the NFL is overlooking any opponent. Especially after losing to CHI and DEN early in the season. 🤣

Bill Walsh said that players couldn't psych themselves up for every game. A handful of games, to be won, had to be done on talent and effort despite not bringing their "A" with them.
