The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked good in their games this season with their 20-7 record overall and their 9-5 conference record which has them in the top half of the SEC. They have looked great on their home court too with their 12-2 home record. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt has looked good in their games this season with their 18-9 record overall, but their 6-8 conference record has them in the bottom half of the SEC. They have been a terrible road team too with their 2-6 road record this season. Vandy is coming off a nice home win over Ole Miss in their last one and that was a big win for them, but they haven't looked good lately as they are 2-3 in their last 5 games and could be due for a let down here. Texas A&M has been slightly better lately as they are 3-2 in their last 5 games, and they also have some more impressive wins under their belt this season. They are coming off a home loss to Tennessee in their last one and have now lost 2 games in a row, but both losses were to ranked opponents so they will be looking to bounce back in a big way here by beating up on an unranked opponent at home. Vanderbilt got a nice win over Ole Miss in their last one, but they have struggled to string those kinds of wins together this season and they are running into a Texas A&M team that desperately needs to bounce back here. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

"Yeah, I mean every win is hard, difficult and important and we just went through a really tough stretch on the road where - hard environments and our last home game here was against the number one team in the country and we've been playing good basketball. The results haven't quite been there and I told the guys the last couple of days that I was actually feeling more positive after watching the film.” - Mark Byington after his team’s win against Ole Miss in their last game. 

“I thought our game at Missouri was an unbelievable atmosphere, unbelievable college game to start early February and I thought this was very similar. Thankful for the students that were here, the people that were here. I thought the environment was tremendous and I thought it was a really good game. We’re disappointed in the results, but I feel, my feelings do not matter whatsoever. But I do think that how our organization felt after the loss on Tuesday to start week eight, a little different than how our organization feels to conclude week eight.” - Buzz Williams after his team’s loss against Tennessee in their last game.
