Texas A&M vs Texas Prediction
Texas A&M is getting the benefit of the doubt because of the rest advantage, but this line feels a bit thick for a rivalry game. Texas A&M and Texas split the two games this season back in January, and the Longhorns are coming off an impressive road win over a feisty Vanderbilt squad. Texas A&M has seen losses in four of its last six games and has had issues getting stops in those games.
It has been a disappointing season for Texas, but we’ve seen flashes here and there. The Longhorns can put together strong performances when motivated. It’s do or die in a spot like this for Texas. I’ll take a shot with the points against a Texas A&M squad that’s not in great form entering the tournament.
