Texas A&M vs Texas Prediction
Texas A&M is getting the benefit of the doubt at home, but I want the points in this spot. Both teams can score with the ball while struggling at times defensively. This feels like it’s going to be a close game either way. I also like points in rivalry spots. A revenge spot for Texas after the Aggies beat the Longhorns last month in a similar underdog spot. The underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 games between Texas A&M and Texas. The Longhorns winning this game outright wouldn’t be surprising. I want the points.
