Texas A&M vs Texas Prediction
The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked great in their games this season with their 11-0 record overall and their 7-0 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They are currently ranked inside the top 5 teams in the nation and they are the only undefeated team left in the SEC. Meanwhile, Texas has looked good in their games this season with their 8-3 record overall and their 5-2 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They were ranked like one of the best teams in the nations entering the season. Now they are still ranked inside the top 25, but not going to the CFP with their 3 losses. They are off a 52-37 win over Arkansas in their last one and they have looked a lot better as a team in their games lately, but they still have some bad losses under their belt. They also struggled with a lot of the weaker teams in the conference, and their offense looked terrible for a lot of the year with Arch Manning not living up to expectations. Texas A&M has blown through their expectations though and even though it hasn't looked pretty at times, they continue to find ways to win games. Their defense has given up a lot of points in their road games this year, but they are 4-0 in their road games and their offense has still been rolling in these. Texas has had many chances this season to show what they are and they keep falling short of the mark while Texas A&M finds ways to get the job done. Texas A&M is going to bring their best effort here to end the regular season undefeated and they will find a way to win this game like they always do. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.
