Texas A&M vs. Florida CBB Prediction:
This has the potential to be a look-ahead spot for Florida on Saturday night. The Gators will travel to Tuscaloosa to face #6 Alabama on Wednesday night in a game that could have SEC conference championship and NCAA Tournament implications. It would be understandable if Florida wasn’t super locked in against a Texas A&M team that has lost 3 straight games.
Texas A&M finds themselves in a familiar spot this season as the underdog. Since Buzz Williams became the Aggies head coach in 2019, Texas A&M is 43-35-1 ATS as an underdog. In that same span, the Aggies are 22-17-1 ATS as a road underdog. I like Texas A&M’s chances to cover the considerable number as an underdog here. I’m taking the Aggies and the points on the road in Gainesville on Saturday night.
