Texas A&M is coming into this game as a 6.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has been playing very well coming into this game as they have won their last 7 straight games but have been playing very well in these tournament games. They have played in 3 games in this tournament so far winning all 3 but their last 2 wins were both big upsets against ranked opponents, Auburn and Arkansas, and Texas A&M has been building big leads in those games as well. They are going up against a Tennessee side that has also been playing very well recently. They are coming off of a win against Kentucky where they took the lead early and held on the whole time but there were a lot of points in that game where they had a 10 point lead and then let it dwindle and they constantly were letting Kentucky back in the game which was very dangerous for a team like them. Texas A&M has been playing very well and are gaining a lot of steam in their recent games. They basically played their way into the NCAA tournament with their performance here but they are not going to stop now. They already have 2 straight big upsets and they have a good chance of making it 3 here. Texas A&M will cover the spread in this game.
