Bowling Green at Texas A&M picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas A&M 38, Bowling Green 24
Moneyline
Texas A&M (-2500) will cost you 25 times your potential return, which means you must wager $100 for every $4 in profit. It shouldn’t need to be said, but that’s ridiculous. Risking that much for so little is a poor long-term betting strategy.
PASS.
Against the spread
BOWLING GREEN +22.5 (-110) is worth playing in this trip down to Texas. The Falcons were not fazed at Happy Valley, losing just by 1 score at Penn State. The Falcons were good for 121 rushing yards and 254 passing yards, while QB Connor Bazelak tossed 2 TDs.
Texas A&M -22.5 (-110) covered last week on the road at Florida, but it is 0-2 ATS in 2 games at home.
Over/Under
OVER 51.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at the most.
The total has gone high in 2 straight games for the Aggies, averaging 42.5 PPG in the past 2 outings, while allowing 17.7 PPG in 3 games so far this season.
For the Falcons, they’ll be well rested and raring to go after a bye week. Bowling Green is averaging 34.0 PPG, and that includes the trip to Penn State. The defense is allowing 25.5 PPG. We should have ourselves a higher-scoring game.
