Oregon vs. Texas A&M picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas A&M 71, Oregon 68
Moneyline
PASS.
While the moneyline could be enticing for the underdog, the better value here is on the spread, especially considering how tightly contested some battles have been for both sides this season.
Against the spread
BET OREGON +3.5 (-115).
The Ducks have the size and shooting to be able to hang with Texas A&M. Three of their top 4 scorers shoot over 30% from deep, and 3 also shoot better than 53% from the field. Oregon has flipped between covering and not in all 5 games and failed to in its last outing, suggesting it is primed to reward bettors here.
The Aggies are 0-1 ATS on the road and only have 1 of their top 4 scorers shooting better than 50%. Take the more efficient side, and play OREGON +3.5 (-115).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 147.5 (-110).
If there’s 1 thing both sides can agree on, it is the Under. The Ducks are 2-3 O/U on the season and have allowed 70 or fewer in 3 of their last 4 games.
The Aggies are 1-4 O/U and have allowed 64 or fewer in 4 of 5. Both teams can defend at a high level. Texas A&M is 0-2 O/U against Power 4 opponents as well.
Back UNDER 147.5 (-110).
