Texas A&M vs. Texas Free Pick
The lone college football game on Thursday night should prove to be a great one, as Texas will host in-state rival Texas A&M at 8:00PM ET on ESPN. The Aggies are currently ranked 17th in the nation, but you know the Longhorns would love to ruin that.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made Texas a 3.5-point home underdog against Texas A&M on Thursday night. The over/under total is currently 47.5 according to latest college football odds.
The Aggies improved to 8-3 on the year with a huge win over Nebraska last Saturday night. According to Week 13 college football trends, A&M is 7-4 against the number this year and 3-1 ATS on the road.
The Longhorns have had a rough season but they won last week to improve to 5-6. They’re just 3-8 against the number this season and have failed to cover in five of their six home games in 2010.
Week 13 College Football Free Pick:
The Aggies have looked like a completely different team of late with Ryan Tannehill under center. He’s thrown for 10 touchdowns during A&M’s five-game winning streak and along with running back Cyrus Gray, has aided the Aggies’ rushing attack. But although A&M definitely has the better team this year, Texas isn’t going to lay down without a fight. The Longhorns are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings against the Aggies in Austin, while the home team is 10-2 against the number in the last 12 meetings between these two teams. If Mack Brown’s team can take a page out of Nebraska’s (who held A&M to just 9 points last weekend) defensive playbook, then they could pull off the upset. We think this is a three-point game either way and therefore, we like taking the home team getting points in prime time. Our pick is Texas plus the points.
