The Texas A&M Aggies (1-1) and Florida Gators (1-1) clash Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Texas A&M vs. Florida odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

After a season-opening loss to Notre Dame, A&M, which sits just outside of the Top 25, took its frustrations out on McNeese State 52-10. Aggies QB Conner Weigman (undisclosed) is questionable for this one. If he can’t go, QB Marcel Reed will be under center. Weigman went 11-for-14 for 125 yards and 2 scores last week. Reed went 5-for-11 for 71 yards and rushed 7 times for 43 yards.

Florida rebounded from a beatdown against Miami with a 45-7 chomping of Samford last week. QB DJ Lagway was 18-for-25 for 456 yards and 3 scores through the air. RB Montrell Johnson Jr. rushed 15 times for 67 yards and 2 scores in the game. The victory snapped a 6-game losing streak, dating back to last season.

Texas A&M at Florida picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida 24, Texas A&M 21

Moneyline

A lot hinges on Weigman’s ability to suit up, as Reed has just 47 career passes and not a lot to show for it. Lagway was the No. 1 quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class, and he can beat you with his arm and his legs. QB Graham Mertz will also see some action for Florida, which could give A&M problems in preparation.

Add in this game is at The Swamp, and I’m taking the upset. Take FLORIDA +145.

Against the spread

We’re taking the value on the ML, so there’s little reason to take the spread. Instead, we’re taking MONTRELL JOHNSON JR. ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN (+100). He had 2 scores last week and another in the first game. Even odds? Sign me up!

Over/Under

I’m not as confident on this take here, but with the uncertainty at QB for A&M, I feel like it’s going to try to run the ball early on until Florida stacks the box. Things should open up in the 2nd half, but it’ll be too late to hit the Over by then. LEAN UNDER 46.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Texas A&M Aggies (20-13) and Florida Gators (23-10) meet in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament Saturday at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Tip-off is scheduled for approximately 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Texas A&M vs. Florida odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

The 7th-seeded Aggies upset 2nd-seeded Kentucky in the quarterfinals Friday, winning 97-87 as 5.5-point underdogs as the Over (160) cashed. Texas A&M also topped Ole Miss, and it has won and covered 5 straight games with the Over connecting in 4 in a row.

The 6th-seeded Gators surprised Alabama Friday, winning 102-88 as 5-point underdogs as the Over (175) cashed. Florida is 5-3 straight up (SU) in the past 8 games, but it is just 2-5 against the spread (ATS) in the previous 7 outings. The Over has cashed in 6 straight and 8 of the past 9 contests.

Texas A&M topped Florida 67-66 in the only regular-season meeting, with the Gators cashing as 4-point underdogs in College Station Feb. 3 as the Under (151.5) cashed. The Aggies have won 5 straight in the series while covering 3 of those outings. The Under has cashed in 3 straight meetings while going 4-1 in the previous 5 in the series dating back to Feb. 15, 2022.

Texas A&M vs. Florida picks and predictions

Prediction

Florida 82, Texas A&M 80

Moneyline

Florida (-160) will cost you almost 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little too much risk for not enough reward.

Texas A&M (+135) has been hot in this tournament, and it has racked up 5 huge wins in a row to strengthen its resume for an at-large NCAA Tournament bid. It won’t go quietly, though, despite feeling much better after an upset of Kentucky.

PASS.

Against the spread

TEXAS A&M +2.5 (+100) is a strong play.

This is going to be a tussle, and the Aggies are playing with a lot of confidence after upending the 2nd-seeded Wildcats. Texas A&M has covered 5 in a row, and it’s worth playing as the underdog.

Florida -2.5 (-110) has won just 5 of the past 8 games while going 2-5 ATS in the past 7 outings.

Over/Under

OVER 151.5 (110) is a strong play in this SEC semifinals matchup.

The Over is on a 6-0 run for Florida, as it is filling up the basket with a lot of ease lately. In fact, the Gators have hit triple digits in 2 of the past 4 games, and neither of those games went to overtime. The Gators are good for 81 or more points in 10 of the past 14 outings.

The Aggies aren’t usually known for their offense, but they dropped 97 on Kentucky Friday, and Texas A&M has scored 85 or more points in 4 straight outings, cashing the Over in each game.
