Houston Christian at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 78, Houston Christian 58

Moneyline

PASS.

Even if you find odds on this game, avoid them.

Against the spread

BET HOUSTON CHRISTIAN +30.5 (-105).

Texas A&M is 2-1 ATS in its last 3 games as a favorite of 25 points or more, but is just 1-3-1 ATS in its last 5 games as a favorite. The Aggies’ top 2 scoring options shoot under 39% from the field, so they may not have the offensive weaponry to pull too far ahead against a capable Houston Christian squad.

The Huskies are 4-0 ATS on the road this season and have gone 2-0 ATS as an underdog of 30 points or more. They have played the Texas Longhorns and Creighton Bluejays, both of the road, losing those by 31 and 35 respectively. Houston Christian’s top 4 scorers all shoot at least 42% from the field.

Expect the Huskies to be able to keep it within 31 points so take HOUSTON CHRISTIAN +30.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 140.5 (-115).

The Huskies are 0-2 O/U in games in which they are an underdog of 30 points or more and 1-3 O/U when they are a double-digit underdog.

The Aggies are 4-7 O/U and have gone Under in 3 straight games. They are 1-4 O/U at home on the season and 1-2 O/U as a favorite of 20 or greater.

Considering those trends, back UNDER 140.5 (-115).

Texas A&M vs. Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M vs. Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 18 Texas A&M Aggies (8-2) and No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers (8-2) meet Saturday in the Indy Classic. Tip-off from Gainbridge Fieldhouse is set for noon ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas A&M vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Texas A&M picked up a 72-67 win over Texas Tech in its last outing while covering as a 1-point underdog. The Aggies destroyed the Red Raiders in the turnover battle, winning 19-8 while having 3 players each with at least 2 steals in the game. TAMU has won 4 straight since suffering a loss to Oregon back before Thanksgiving.

Purdue beat the Maryland Terrapins 83-78 while covering as a 4.5-point favorite in its last game. G Braden Smith put up a double-double with 24 points and 10 assists in the win as Purdue bounced back after being upset against Penn State just the game before. The Boilermakers are 2-0 against the SEC this season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Texas A&M vs. Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 75, Texas A&M 73

Moneyline

LEAN PURDUE (-145). 

Purdue is the slightly better team and has a much more fluid offense, averaging 78.3 points per game overall this year and 83.5 ppg in 2 games against the SEC this year. The Boilermakers will also give TAMU’s defense a bit of trouble because of its passing as they average 17.3 assists per game, 5 more than the Aggies.

This is a lean because the Aggies are a very good team and because this is statistically a pretty even matchup.

Against the spread

BET TEXAS A&M +2.5 (-110). 

Texas A&M has covered the spread in each of its last 2 games and is 5-4-1 ATS this season.

The Aggies are also the much better team defensively, holding teams to just 64.9 points per game compared to Purdue’s 70.4. TAMU will have a major rebounding advantage here as the Aggies average 43.1 boards per game to Purdue’s 34.

Look for the Aggies’ advantages defensively and on the glass to be the key for them to keep the game close.

Over/Under

BET OVER 144.5 (-110). 

The Over has hit in all of Purdue’s last 3 games and is 2-1 in Texas Tech’s last  3 road games.

Both squads also average more than 75 PPG, more than enough for the Over to be considered a safe bet here.

Be aware that the Over and Under number have been very even in both squad’s last 10 games, and the Under hit in the only matchup between these squads.

Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Texas Tech Red Raiders (7-1) and No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies (7-2) hook up at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth Sunday. Tip is set for 3 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas Tech vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Texas A&M beat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons 57-44 Tuesday, covering the spread as a 9-point home favorite. The Aggies have rattled off 3 straight wins, yet are 1-1-1 against the spread (ATS) in those. The Aggies are 4-4-1 ATS on the season. Texas A&M’s has 2 wins over teams that were ranked at the time — 78-64 as a 5.5-point home favorite vs. then-No. 22 Ohio State Nov. 15 and 77-73 as a 4-point favorite against then-No. 19 Creighton in Las Vegas Nov. 27.

The Red Raiders, who have been double-digit favorites in every game this season, beat the DePaul Blue Demons 76-62 Wednesday. They covered by a hook (a half point) as 13.5-point home favorites and are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games. Like A&M, Texas Tech also is on a 3-game win streak. Tech will be a single-digit favorite for the first time this season and is 4-2 ATS at home.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Texas A&M vs. Texas Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 74, Texas Tech 72

Moneyline

BET TEXAS A&M (+105).

The Aggies are the more tested side, and that could matter here. They have played Creighton, Ohio State, Oregon and Rutgers, going 3-1 straight up (SU) in those. Texas A&M has yet to be an underdog this season and is 4-2 SU as a single-digit favorite.

The Red Raiders have failed to cover in 3 of their last 5 games and have lost straight up as a double-digit favorite this season. In games where they were favored between 10 and 13, they’re 1-1 SU and 0-2 ATS. Texas Tech has yet to play a Top-25 side and could struggle against that level of competition.

TAKE TEXAS A&M (+105).

Against the spread

PASS.

Given the way this game is predicted to go and the lack of competitive competition for the Red Raiders, take the Aggies to come out on top on the moneyline instead of playing them as a slight underdog.

Over/Under

BET OVER 141.5 (-115).

If there’s one thing the Red Raiders know how to do, it is score. They are 6-1-1 O/U on the season and 2-0 O/U in games with a spread between 10 and 13. Texas Tech has scored at least 76 in every game this season.

The Aggies are 3-1 O/U in their last 4 games, scoring at least 70 in all but two games this season. They have allowed at least 73 in 3 of their last 4 as well.

BACK OVER 141.5 (-115).

Wake Forest at Texas A&M odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Wake Forest at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies (6-2) welcome the Wake Forest Demon Deacons (7-2) to Reed Arena Tuesday as part of the SEC/ACC Men’s Challenge. Tip is set for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Wake Forest vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Aggies beat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 81-77 on a neutral-court battle as part of the Players Era Festival Saturday, closing as a 5.5-point favorite. They lost their opening game of the tournament 80-70 to the No. 10 Oregon Ducks. Texas A&M is 3-1 against the spread (ATS) at home and 3-4-1 ATS on the season.

Wake Forest is coming off a 57-51 neutral-court win over the Minnesota Golden Gophers Friday, closing as a 3-point favorite. That was just its second Power 4 win of the season, beating the Michigan Wolverines 72-70 on Nov. 10 as well. The Demon Deacons are 2-7 ATS on the season and 2-2 ATS on away from home.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Wake Forest at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 72, Wake Forest 62

Moneyline

PASS.

The only playable side here is the Wake Forest moneyline as Texas A&M’s value is far too expensive. The Demon Deacons are 0-2 straight up as an underdog of more than 4 points. That said, avoid a moneyline play.

Against the spread

BET TEXAS A&M -8.5 (+100).

The Demon Deacons have been an underdog of 7 or more twice, and they are 0-2 ATS in those with a 15-point loss to the Xavier Muskateers and a 17-point loss to the Florida Gators. They are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as well.

The Aggies have performed well this season at home and are 1-0 ATS at home as a favorite of between 5 and 10. They have a stout defense has have allowed more than 64 just once in those four home games.

Take TEXAS A&M -8.5 (+100).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 143.5 (-110).

If there’s one thing both teams like to do, it is go Under the projected total. The Aggies are 1-3 O/U at home and have scored under 71 points twice in their last 4 games. They have had a total Under 145 twice and are 0-2 O/U in those games.

The Demon Deacons are 2-7 O/U on the season and have scored 60 or fewer points in both games as a sizable underdog. They have gone Under in 3 straight games, scoring under 58 in 2 straight.

Play UNDER 143.5 (-110).

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M vs. Rutgers odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies (5-2) and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (5-2) meet in the Players Era Festival fifth-place game Sunday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Tip-off is set for 3:30 p.m. ET (truTV). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas A&M vs. Rutgers odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Texas A&M suffered an 80-70 loss to Oregon Tuesday as a 3.5-point favorite, but it bounced back with a 77-73 win over No. 19 Creighton Wednesday to push at most shops as a 4-point favorite while the Over (145.5) cashed for the second straight outing in this event.

Rutgers eased by Notre Dame 85-84 in OT Tuesday, rebounding from a stunning 79-77 loss at Kennesaw State Sunday. Rutgers put up a strong fight against No. 9 Alabama Wednesday, falling 95-90 as an 11.5-point underdog while the Over (162.5) cashed. In Vegas, Rutgers is 1-0-1 against the spread (ATS) in 2 games after an 0-4 ATS skid entering the event.

Texas A&M vs. Rutgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 76, Rutgers 70

Moneyline

Texas A&M (-190) will cost you almost double your potential return, and that’s not recommended as a standalone wager. It would be perfectly OK to include the Aggies in a multi-leg parlay, though.

PASS.

Against the spread

Back TEXAS A&M -4.5 (-110) laying the little bit of points, but take it easy. Rutgers +4.5 (-110) was ranked earlier in the season, and it gave Alabama all it could handle. The Scarlet Knights have plenty of talent to win games like this. However, the Aggies have been playing much better basketball to this point.

Over/Under

UNDER 150.5 (-110) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at best.

Entering this event, A&M cashed low on the total in 4 of the first 5 games, but it has gone high in each of the 2 tourney contests.

Be careful, as Rutgers has hit the Over in 5 of the past 6 games, both in Vegas. However, 1 game went to OT, and the other was against the defensively-challenged Crimson Tide.

Texas at Texas A&M odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 3 Texas Longhorns (10-1, 6-1 SEC) visit the No. 19 Texas A&M Aggies (8-3, 5-2 SEC) on Saturday in the latest edition of this storied in-state rivalry. Kickoff from Kyle Field in College Station is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Texas vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

This final-week matchup of ranked teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll also will determine who will face No. 6 Georgia in the SEC Championship Game. These long-time foes reunite on the field after A&M left thr Bg 12 for the SEC in 2012 and the Longhorns followed them last offseason.

Texas leads the all-time series 76-37-5. They last played in 2011, with Texas winning 27-25 on the road.

QB Quinn Ewers is expected to suit up despite sustaining an ankle injury during a 31-14 win over the Kentucky Wildcats last week. The Longhorns’ offense has lagged since his Week 7 return after a 2-game injury absence.

Still, the unit has done enough to rattle off a 4-game win streak since losing to Georgia — especially since Texas boasts the nation’s third-ranked scoring defense (12.1 PPG).

The Aggies’ quadruple-overtime 43-41 loss last week to the Auburn Tigers dealt a huge blow to their chances at an at-large College Football Playoff berth. However, they remain a threat to sneak into the conference championship matchup with an upset.

Texas 27, Texas A&M 23

Moneyline

Texas’ defensive advantage should be the tipping point, though the -225 vig factors that in.

Find more advantageous ways to back a Longhorns win.

PASS.

Against the spread

Betting A&M to hang with the talented Texas defense probably reads as risky on paper, but the run game could be the way forward for the home team.

Expect A&M to ride its ground game with QB Marcel Reed and RB Amari Daniels, who’s filled in well with RB Le’Veon Moss (leg) out for the season.

BET TEXAS A&M +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Aggies’ middling defense should get Ewers and the Longhorns right on the offensive side.

While the value isn’t incredible, I lean toward the schools topping the total. Texas A&M is 4-1 on the Over over its past 5 games and 7-4 on the year, so expect the home team to keep pace.

BET OVER 48.5 (-105).

Analyzing Wednesday’s Texas A&M vs. Creighton odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies (4-2) and the No. 19 Creighton Bluejays (4-2) meet Wednesday in the Players Era Festival. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET (Max) at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas A&M vs. Creighton odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Aggies are coming off a stunning 80-70 loss in the “Power Group” bracket in this fledgling tournament. Texas A&M obviously failed to cover as a 3.5-point favorite, as it is 0-2 against the spread (ATS) after a 3-0 ATS run from Nov. 8-15. The Over (147) cashed in Tuesday’s game against the Ducks, too.

For the Bluejays, they’ve dropped the past 2 games, including a 71-53 drubbing from San Diego State Tuesday in the Power Group. That loss comes on the heels of a stunning 74-63 loss against Nebraska at home as a 10-point favorite. Creighton is just 1-5 ATS this season, while the Under has cashed in 5 straight outings.

Texas A&M vs. Creighton picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 73, Creighton 61

Moneyline

If you’re a conservative bettor, back TEXAS A&M (-165) straight up, especially if you don’t feel like fiddling around with the points in this tournament game in Vegas.

It’s a little too expensive for my liking, but no one can play you if you’re not comfortable laying the points, especially if you want to toss the Aggies into multi-leg parlay.

Against the spread

Play TEXAS A&M -3.5 (-110) to get the job done by at least 2 buckets.

The Aggies showed some serious holes against Oregon in the tournament opener, but Creighton +3.5 (-110) is even chillier on offense, recording back-to-back games by double digits against Nebraska and San Diego State. And, the Bluejays are a dismal 1-5 ATS in the 6 games this season.

Over/Under

UNDER 143.5 (-105) is a solid play in this rebound game for both teams. Both sides could get off to a cold start as they look to avoid an 0-2 hole in this showcase in Vegas.

The Under has cashed in 5 in a row for Creighton, so that’s a huge driving factor in this play, too. The Bluejays haven’t been able to hit the broad side of the barn in the past 2 losses, averaging just 58.0 PPG.

For A&M, the Under has hit in 4 of the 6 games, including 2-1 in 3 games against power conference opponents.

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).

Texas A&M at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M at Auburn odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies (8-2, 5-1 SEC) and Auburn Tigers (4-6, 1-5) meet Saturday. Kickoff from Jordan Hare Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Texas A&M vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Aggies roughed up New Mexico State 38-3 last Saturday in the annual SEC cupcake game in mid-November but failed to cover as 38.5-point home favorites. Texas A&M has won 8 of the past 9 outings with only a 44-20 shellacking as 3-point road favorites at South Carolina Nov. 2 as the lone blemish in that span. Texas A&M has failed to cover the past 2 games and is 3-7 against the spread (ATS) on the season. The Over has cashed 4 in a row against SEC teams.

The Tigers topped UL-Monroe 48-14 last Saturday, covering as 24.5-point favorites with the Over (45.5) cashing. QB Payton Thorne finished with a career-best 5 passing TDs and 286 with WR Cam Coleman (8 receptions, 100 yards, 3 TDs) as his top target. However, Auburn has dropped 5 of the past 6 games against SEC foes, while going 2-4 ATS in those games. The Under has cashed in 4 straight outings against SEC teams.

Texas A&M at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 31, Auburn 20

Moneyline

TEXAS A&M (-120) is worth a look straight up if you’re a little more conservative and you prefer not to lay the points and just want to pick a winner.

While it’s a safe play, Auburn (+100) should be playing with desperation, as it needs to win out — against A&M and Alabama next Saturday — to qualify for a bowl game.

Against the spread

Back TEXAS A&M -1.5 (-105). Save for the South Carolina debacle two games ago, the Aggies are playing some of the best football in the SEC.

Auburn has just been off this season. The Tigers’ 4 wins are against Alabama A&M, New Mexico, Kentucky and UL-Monroe, not exactly a murderer’s row. The Tigers should be desperate, yes, but they just don’t have the horses to slow the Aggies down.

Over/Under

OVER 47.5 (-110) is worth. Texas A&M will likely have to do a lot of the heavy lifting to get this across the finish line.

A&M is good for 34 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games, and the run game is the pride of the Aggies offense. However, Auburn is pretty decent defensively against the run, so that’s a little bit of a concern with the Over.

Southern at Texas A&M odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Southern at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Southern Jaguars (1-3) make the trip to College Station to take on the Texas A&M Aggies (3-1) in Wednesday non-nonconference action. The opening tip at Reed Arena will be at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Southern vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Southern opened with 3 straight losses before filing a Sunday win over National Christian College Athletic Association-member Ecclesia. That was an unlined matchup that saw the Jaguars shoot 56.3% and force 33 turnovers en route to a 131-42 victory. G Tidjiane Dioumassi leads the Jaguars in points (13.0), assists (5.0) and steals (1.8) per game.

Texas A&M, No. 23 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 3-game win streak after season-opening 64-61 loss at UCF. The most impressive of the victories was A&M’s last game, a 78-64 home win vs. Ohio State Friday. The Aggies, led by 15 points apiece from G Wade Taylor IV and backup G Manny Obaseki, covered as 5.5-point favorites and the Under (147.5) came in.

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).
