Tex A&M -3.5

JMobile · 11-24-10, 03:15 AM

Ask Ralphie, he is good in keeping up with College football.

colts · 11-24-10, 07:26 AM

I wish I knew of some real reasons why the line is only 3.5. A&M is ranked 17th in the nation. A&M is on a 5-game winning streak with wins over oklahoma, baylor and nebraska. I don't see how texas can even be motivated to beat A&M. They have no shot of going to a bowl game. I guess the line is low because it is at UT and they traditionally beat A&M at home (home team is 10-2 ATS in head to head last 12).

Cris_from_Europe · 11-24-10, 08:16 AM

A&M the better team here ... I think they win and cover ... about the spread, last week everyone said the same thing about wisconsin at -4 "conspiracy theory" ... Don't over think sportsbetting too much .. go with your first read. A&M the better team and the line moved from -3 to -3.5 so bettors are starting to pound them ....

A&M should roll in this one and cover easily. imo.

JosephPavs · 11-24-10, 12:58 PM

Guys I have been following this game for YEARs remember last year when it was a shoot out every 3 plays were Tds TAMU is the better team and should win by 10-14 but you can throw the record books out the window on this one

TheLock · 11-24-10, 01:01 PM

I'm undecided at this point.

Boscoe · 11-24-10, 01:33 PM

coin flip imo.....might go with tamu simply for the action.

Ramasenka · 11-24-10, 01:51 PM

I hope there would not be yesterdays scenario with Temple...

MUHerd37 · 11-24-10, 02:17 PM

Texas is going from the BCS championship game to not even bowl eligible. That takes some talent right there. They had lost 4 straight until beating Florida Atlantic last week. They had also lost 2 consecutive games at home against Iowa State and Baylor. Gotta take A&M tonight.

Givemhell Horns · 11-24-10, 03:13 PM

Since the Big 12 was formed the Horns have all but spanked Nebraska, OSU and A&M year after year. This year OSU finally broke out after losing 13 strait, the Aggies may do the same but my gut tells me the Horns come to play. BUT, i have never seen anything like this having followed the Horns for ages. Maybe we go crazy and win by 30 or get drilled by 30.

t-wizzle · 11-24-10, 03:32 PM

A&M is on a roll right now and have been a cover machine since the middle of the season, but they are coming off a hard-fought upset over Nebraska. Be careful with this one Lyon... I think the Aggies are the play but I would not be surprised if they had a letdown in this spot.

orangeheaven · 11-24-10, 04:11 PM

Gonna go with texas on this one.

lyon804 · 11-24-10, 04:33 PM

Thanks for everybodies opinion on this game. I am not a good college football guy and wanted some opinions. From the outside A&M looks like the play, but UT can salvage some issues with a win here. Tough call.

No coincidences · 11-24-10, 04:34 PM

Wouldn't touch it, lyon.

Texas is like a dead corpse right now, but they have their rival at home and they're playing for a bowl game. Will that be enough motivation? It's not a question of talent, which makes them dangerous.

HilltopTony · 11-24-10, 04:42 PM

Texas could be a dangerous team tomorrow, I like A&M. Safe play is to flip the game on with your favorite drink and watch. I like to take the whole Thanksgiving day off (from gambling) and just enjoy. Whatever you do GL and have a safe Holiday!

Vastey · 11-24-10, 05:01 PM

I'm against A&M. As I see Texas defense is a little better. And I don't want repeat yesterday's lose with Temple.

azn624 · 11-24-10, 05:09 PM

Leaning with A&M but Texas seems like the right play

Serbone · 11-24-10, 05:45 PM

Am I missing something?
Texas has 5 wins, if Texas wins, aren't they bowl eligible?
AND what does A&M have to gain? They have 8 wins, a 9th would not put them in a much better bowl, would it?
SO you have a visiting team (A&M) that might be in a letdown mode, coming off a huge upset win over Nebraska, against a HOME team that can salvage a little pride by beating A&M on national TV and getting to a bowl.
Thus the line is small, 3.5, and 65% of betting is on A&M.
But you still have to consider the basics... A&M is playing well since they changed QB's, and Texas stinks on offense.

uhuhahah · 11-24-10, 06:47 PM

Texas Over is the play

bachngocduong · 11-24-10, 06:56 PM

i will go alllll overrrrrrrr

a&m is playing their rival, no letdown game here, they've had chances for let down games after beating Oklahoma, but then crushed Baylor on the road

A&m is playing for a likely invitation to the cotton bowl, a loss drops them to Insight/Holiday bowl

the line has moved from -3 to -3.5, no reverse line movement here

mv09 · 11-24-10, 08:40 PM

Texas A&M has the momentum
Texas A&M is the better offense
Texas A&M is the better defense
That doesn't matter at all tomorrow...

As I mnetioned in the other A&M/Texas thread, for the last 5 times these teams met Texas was the big dog chasing a national championship and A&M was the team who couldnt win in November. Tides have turned and now Texas is the team that sucks badly. Heck just a couple of weeks ago Gilbert completed more passes to Kansas State players (5) than Kansas State passes attempted (3) and K-State won big. Doesn't matter tomorrow. You get the best out of every player in rivalry games like this one and Texas is a very talented very underachieving team. If Texas plays up to their talent, then you never know. Its 60/40 A&M -3.5, not enough for me to actually recommend it as a play.

Stay away from this game. Much better plays on Friday and Saturday

texhooper · 11-24-10, 11:15 PM

last year the tables were turned, and texas had to squeak one out from what i remember. i'd stick with the guy who said you can throw the record books out on this one. i'd have to take the points, this is texas' "bowl game", if you will.

to add, i probably ain't touching shit on this one, just giving an opinion.

CBASS · 11-25-10, 02:54 AM

Texas ML.

GL to all.

spongerat · 11-25-10, 03:12 AM

big play on AM for me

azn624 · 11-25-10, 04:00 AM

Probably a no play and just wait for weekend games

cankid · 11-25-10, 07:11 AM

like Texas plus the hook

JMobile · 11-25-10, 08:21 AM

A&M

TonyP · 11-25-10, 08:22 AM

seems lilke most peeps on AM so I will go with Texas. Texas has something to play for and AM on a let down game line only at 3.5 taking Texas ml and points

cadillac pete · 11-25-10, 08:32 AM

I think the Horns come with an effort here that won them the game rather easily in Lincoln. Taking the points.

WorkHorse · 11-25-10, 08:48 AM

Texas has been a money burner against teams with a winning record of late covering only two of the last eleven.

isg2010 · 11-25-10, 10:01 AM

1) A&M has played 5 top 30 offenses in their last 5 games
2) A&M has held them on average to 100 yds and 10 pts below their season average
3) The last 5 opponents Texas faced average an offensive ranking of 53 - A&M's 21
4) Last 5 opponents Texas faced average defense ranking is 89 - A&M's 69 (inlcuding Neb.'s #9)
5) Even is you use the bowl motivation for Texas, what bowl??? What motivation is that?

yes, I am an Aggie and feeling confident (not over confident) that we should win is not a common feeling the last 10 years.
