Texas A&M vs Florida Prediction
Florida is the more complete team and should be favored, but Texas A&M isn’t an easy place to play, and the Aggies are a tough out with that offense. If shots fall and that crowd goes crazy, this will be a tough game for the Gators. I always like getting free points with an elite offense, as it’s not like Texas A&M needs the help. Texas A&M is also 15-7 ATS on the season. This feels like a back-and-forth, tight game where the points will be beneficial. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Texas A&M win outright. Give me the points with the Aggies.
