Auburn vs Texas A&M Prediction

The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 3 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has quietly been having a great season as they have been unranked for most of the year but are 16-7 overall right now with an 8-2 conference record as they are making their way up the standings to being one of the best teams in the SEC right now. They have also been a very good home team all year with their 11-1 home record and they just pounded Georgia by over 20 points in their last game so they will be ready to do it again on their home court here and start making a name for themselves on the national scale. Auburn has also been a very good team this season with their 17-6 record overall but they haven't been as good as Texas A&M has been in conference play as Auburn is only 7-3 in their conference games and they were just stripped of their ranking in the top 25 too. They haven't been a great road team with their 4-4 road record and they just suffered a really close loss to Tennessee by just 3 points which was a game they put a lot of effort into to win and just came up short. Texas A&M has a very good team that has been great at home all year and Auburn will be due for a bit of a letdown after a heartbreaking loss like that. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes


“At the end, Wendell Green got the shot off and got fouled. Nothing got called.” - Bruce Pearl after his team’s loss against Tennessee in their last game.


“I would say that they were a little out of sorts. I do think that we were playing well, but it would be foolish to say that Georgia isn’t different without [Roberts]. I think they were trying to figure out if they were still going to run the same stuff.” - Buzz Williams after his team’s win against Georgia in their last game.
