Monday's Best NCAAB Bets
By Covers.com
Texas A&M Aggies at Baylor Bears (-13, 124)
The Big 12’s best defensive teams square off as No. 7 Baylor hosts Texas A&M in the conference opener for both teams.
Back in October, Texas A&M was tabbed as the co-favorites with Kansas to win the Big 12, but Baylor — along with No. 8 Missouri — have been the most impressive team in the league through the first two months of the season. Texas A&M ranks first in the conference in scoring defense at 55.8 points allowed per game, while Baylor is second at 58.8.
With a 54-52 win over Mississippi State on Wednesday, Baylor completed its perfect run through the non-conference slate and are off to the best start in program history. In addition, Baylor’s 13-game winning streak tied the 1945-46 team for the longest in school history.
On a team dominated by lengthy frontcourt players, guard Pierre Jackson is picking up the slack in the backcourt. Jackson has led the Bears in scoring the last two games and scored the game-winning layup with 28 seconds left against the Bulldogs.
As good as the Aggies have been on defense, they’ve been equally inept on the offensive end, where they rank last in the Big 12 at only 64.8 points per game.
Pick: Under
Rhode Island Rams at Boston College Eagles (-3, 136)
This is a transition season for Boston College, with nine freshmen and 12 newcomers on the roster. The Eagles knew they would take their lumps, while gaining experience, and there have been no surprises.
Boston College will try to add one more victory to its resume against visiting Rhode Island Monday before ACC play begins. Boston College, who begin league play at No. 6 North Carolina on Jan. 7, had a three-game win streak snapped with a 67-46 loss to No. 23 Harvard Thursday. Rhode Island, which has dropped nine of its last 10 games, is likely to be without its top two scorers. Jamal Wilson was dismissed Dec. 27 for violating team rules and Nikola Malesevic is recovering from a broken hand.
The Eagles had improved on offense, averaging 72.6 points over five games, before being limited by Harvard. Dennis Clifford, a seven foot freshman center, has made a difference the last three games by averaging 13.3 points and is shooting 60 percent from the field on the season.
Freshman Patrick Heckmann leads Boston College in scoring (11.3) and Oregon transfer Matt Humphrey is next at 9.8. Freshman Ryan Anderson averages 8.8 points and a team-high 5.8 rebounds. The Eagles are shooting nearly 41 percent from the field.
Pick: Boston College

Texas A&M Aggies vs. No. 7 Baylor Bears
The Aggies snapped a two-game losing streak with a 76-58 victory over Arkansas Tech this past Thursday in a game with no posted line to wrap-up the non-conference portion of their schedule at 9-3 straight up. Texas A&M is just 1-5 this season against the spread and the total has stayed ‘under’ in four of the six games.
Baylor is a perfect 13-0 SU on the year and 4-2 ATS. It failed to cover in its last two games as a favorite with an 83-81 overtime victory over West Virginia on Dec. 23 as a six-point road favorite and a 54-52 win over Mississippi State as a 7½-point neutral site favorite last Wednesday. The Bears are averaging 77.6 points a game and shooting 49 percent from the field. They have been opened as 13-point home favorites over the Aggies.
