Alabama at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 79, Alabama 78

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

Alabama is 2-5 ATS in the last 7 games of this series. The Tide are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 road games, and A&M is 4-1 ATS across its last 5 at home.

The venue is a bigger-than-average edge here, and Texas Tech is 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS across 5 Quad I games so far.

For Alabama, this game marks the team’s toughest since November. The Aggies figure to be more battle-tested of late. UA plays at the nation’s second-fastest tempo (BartTorvik), and that makes for a pace clash with A&M being on the average-to-slow end of things. But the Aggies’ rebounding and perimeter defense figure as match-up facets that turn this contest into a near-pick-’em. So, taking the points at home brings leverage.

BET TEXAS A&M +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The last 7 A&M games have netted a 5-2 mark for the Under. And the Under is 12-4 in the last 16 series meetings.

UA loves to launch the 3; the Aggies are quite good at defending the perimeter (30.5% 3-point accuracy mark allowed). A&M is also excellent in contesting near-proximity looks. The Crimson Tide does well to force a ton of midrange shots.

Both sides bring scoring-surge factors to bear, and in a close game this score should climb into the 150s. But peg the UNDER 161.5 (-115) as a slight value.

Texas at Texas A&M odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Texas Longhorns (11-2) and the No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies (11-2) meet Saturday at Reed Arena in College Station in the SEC opener. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Texas vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Longhorns have won 4 in a row while going 3-1 against the spread (ATS) since suffering a 76-65 loss against UConn Dec. 8. The Over is also 3-1 in the past 4 outings. Texas won and covered its only previous road game at NC State Dec. 4 as a 2.5-point favorite while the Under (148) cashed.

The Aggies picked up a 92-54 win against Abilene Christian last time out on Dec. 28, covering as a 20.5-point favorite while the Over (139) cashed. Texas A&M has won 7 in a row while covering the past 5 outings. The Under is 4-1 in the 5-game span.

Texas has won 6 of the previous 7 meetings since Jan. 19, 2011, but A&M has covered 3 of the past 4 meetings. The Over has a 3-2 edge in the past 5 meetings.

Texas at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 74, Texas 67

Moneyline

Texas A&M (-275) is a risky play, costing you more than 2 times your potential return. In a rivalry game, that’s a bit too much, even if the Aggies are ranked and playing very good basketball lately.

As a standalone bet, stay away, but it’s OK to toss the Aggies in as part of a multi-leg parlay.

PASS.

Against the spread

TEXAS A&M -5.5 (-120) is worth a look at home.

Both of the Longhorns’ Quad 1 losses to date were against Ohio State and UConn, going 0-2 ATS as favorites.

While the Longhorns have dominated this series in the past decade, it’s been years since they’ve met. A&M is on a 5-0 ATS run, and it is just playing much better basketball lately.

Over/Under

OVER 140.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

The Over cashed last time out for the Aggies, but the Under is 4-1 in the past 5 games at home, so be careful. For the Longhorns, the Over has hit in 3 of the past 4 games.

The No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies (10-2) welcome the Abilene Christian Wildcats (8-5) to Reed Arena Saturday. Tip is set for 4 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Abilene Christian vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Texas A&M, which is No. 13 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 6-game win streak. It is coming off a 77-45 home win over the Houston Christian Huskies Dec. 20, closing as a 31-point favorite. The Aggies have covered in 4 straight games and are 7-4-1 against the spread (ATS) on the season.

The Wildcats beat the Texas Southern Tigers 69-65 on Dec. 21, closing as a 9-point home favorite. They only have one game on the season against a top-25 side, losing to the No. 23 Baylor Bears 88-57 Dec. 9 and failing to cover as a 24.5-point road underdog.

Abilene Christian at Texas A&M picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 81, Abilene Christian 54

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no playable side here. Texas A&M is far too expensive to take while Abilene Christian hasn’t shown enough to suggest it can pull off the massive upset.

Against the spread

BET TEXAS A&M -22.5 (-105).

The Aggies have been a favorite of 20 or greater in 4 games, and they are 3-1 ATS in those. Texas A&M has also been on fire, taking down and cover against Texas Tech and Purdue on neutral-court battles in the last 3 weeks. It is 5-1 ATS at home.

The Wildcats have been an underdog of 20 or more once and are 0-1 ATS in that battle. As an underdog in general, they are just 1-3 ATS on the season.

Take TEXAS A&M -22.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 140.5 (-110).

The Aggies defense is no joke. They held Texas Southern to 45 points, Purdue to 66, Texas Tech to 67 and Wake Forest to 44 in the month of December. Texas A&M is 0-4 O/U in December and 4-8 O/U on the season.

Abilene Christian is 5-4 O/U on the season and shot just 35% from the field against Baylor, its lone game as a substantial underdog. Considering those trends, back UNDER 140.5 (-110).

Las Vegas Bowl: Texas A&M vs. USC odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Texas A&M Aggies (8-4) play the USC Trojans (6-6) Friday in the Las Vegas Bowl. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the USC vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Riding a 7-1 start to the year, the Aggies were ranked as high as No. 11 in the US LBM Coaches Poll. However, they lost 3 of their final 4 games, punctuated by a 17-7 home loss as 4.5-point underdogs to No. 3 Texas Nov. 30, erasing any chance of reaching the College Football Playoff and falling out of the Coaches top 25.

USC won 3 of its last 5 games in a late-year surge but fell to then-No. 5 Notre Dame 49-35 as 7-point home underdogs Nov. 30 in a season-closing assignment of a disappointing Big 10 debut.

Each school made a quarterback switch during the season, producing an intriguing bowl matchup of mobile signal-callers between USC sophomore Jayden Maiava and A&M redshirt freshman Marcel Reed.

Both teams will see many player opt-outs, but the Aggies lose arguably the most significant name: Highly touted pass-rusher DE Nic Scourton will bow out to prepare for a potential top-half or top-10 selection in the NFL Draft.

Over/Under (O/U): 51.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Texas A&M vs. USC odds picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 28, USC 27

Moneyline

While the battle-tested SEC club rightfully is favored, A&M’s loss of Scourton for this game cancels out USC’s inconsistent offensive line play, giving the Trojans offense a better chance at making this a tight contest.

With talent piling up on the transfer and opt-out lists for both teams — collegefootballnetwork.com lists 38 players missing this showcase as of publication) — bettors should focus more safely on markets besides the direct game result.

To be fair, USC’s +155 ML price is tempting for a dart throw. If you have that in your lottery ticket budget, go for it.

PASS barring a sprinkle bet on USC.

Against the spread

Giving USC more than a field goal’s worth of points is a major mistake by the market. Maiava was able to keep things somewhat close with Notre Dame, one of the nation’s best defenses, and the Trojans rank top-10 to 15 in many major passing categories.

USC has a bit more continuity with major players being available, which should provide a razor-thin margin for whichever school comes out on top.

BET USC +4 (-110).

Over/Under

The strongest recommendation of this game trusts the higher offensive upside presented by Maiava and Reed under center.

Enough offensive talent remains on both sides, including USC RB Woody Marks (1,133 rushing yards, 9 TD), to preserve optimism in scoring.

BET OVER 52.5 (-110).

The Texas A&M Aggies (9-2) welcome the Houston Christian Huskies (4-7) to the Reed Arena Friday afternoon for a non-conference game. Tip is set for 2 p.m. ET (SEC Network+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Houston Christian vs. Texas A&M odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Texas A&M, which is No. 11 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, enters on a 5-game win streak. The Aggies beat the No. 17 Purdue Boilermakers 70-66 on a neutral-court battle Saturday, closing as a 2-point underdog. They have covered 3 straight games and are 6-4-1 against the spread (ATS). Texas A&M is 4-4-1 ATS as a favorite.

Houston Christian beat the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks 74-68 Tuesday, closing as a 3.5-point road underdog. It was led by G Julian Mackey, who scored 32 points and nailed 6 triples. The Huskies are 8-1 ATS, having played 2 games that closed without a spread. They are 4-0 ATS as a double-digit underdog.

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).

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).

[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.

[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.

[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

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).

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

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.

Texas A&M vs. Rutgers odds

Provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list of college basketball odds. Lines last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Moneyline (ML): Texas A&M -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | Rutgers +155 (bet $100 to win $155)
Against the spread: Texas A&M -4.5 (-110) | Rutgers +4.5 (-110)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

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.
