Southern at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 85, Southern 55

Moneyline

No interest. AVOID.

Against the spread

The Aggies are 8-1ATS across their last 9 November home games.

Texas A&M brought back a lot of minutes from a 21-win NCAA Tournament squad a season ago. Wednesday, the Aggies are facing a youthful Jaguars five that may well find themselves well out of its depth.

Since its shaky opener, A&M has been tremendously efficient on offense and not reliant on just one or two areas going along well. An offense that generates good looks inside and from beyond the arc will be squaring off against a Southern team that struggles in defending both areas. Add in high offensive rebounding and free-throw rates, and the Aggies figure to have leverage just about everywhere.

Last season, the Jaguars played 4 KenPom top-50 teams in November. They lost all four by an average deficit of 34.0 points per contest.

BACK THE AGGIES -26.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Texas A&M plays at a bottom-third pace, and the Under has gone 3-1 in its games. But the quick-add factors like free throws and second-chance points figure to loom large in the Aggies’ game play against the Jaguars.

Still, the last 5 times the Aggies have been favored by 20-plus points, the Under has gone 4-1.

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 142.5 (-110).
