The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked good in their games this season with their 20-14 record overall and their 9-9 conference record in the SEC which has them in the top half of the conference. They have struggled more against the stronger opponents in the SEC this year but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they started to get hot and went on a run in their conference tournament. Meanwhile, Nebraska has also looked good in their games this season with their 23-10 record overall and their 12-8 conference record in the Big Ten which has them near the top of the conference. Despite being near the top of the Big Ten, their conference wasn't that strong this season and they are only 2-1 in their neutral site games too. They did go on a run in the Big Ten Tournament but they fell short in their game against Illinois, losing by almost double digits in a game that they led by double digits for a lot of it. Texas A&M has been the hotter team coming into this one with their 4-1 record in their last 5 games and they have some experience from last season to help them through this 1st round. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.
