Texas A&M Plus The Points Looks Strong!

[bigboydan]

Am I the only one liking Texas A@M tomorrow?

[VegasDave]

51% A&M, 49% Texas, looks like half the bettors out there are with you buddy.

[KingofKings757]

taking texas a&m at the half good luck

[CaneDawg]

Don't Do it

[blackbart]

on a&m too, spread overinflated due to bcs hype

[carrenzo]

If u guys like A&M then I have to go with Texas

Thanks for the quick help.

[SexyMit]

Texas has never beaten A&M by 35 pts... So why are they favored by that much?

[bigboydan]

So why are they favored by that much?

Texas needs "style points".

[Brock Landers]

Texas should be the ever living shit out of these guys

[big joe 1212]

Take Texas 1st half (-20.5)

They know the whole nation will be watching for style points.
They will come out strong!

[AC1318]

I'm not to good in college but needing 6 scores from jump to cover a spred is a lot.

I also saw that texas never beat a&m by that many but that really doesn't mean much IMO as I tried betting around this type of stat and been burned more than I care to remember.

What I do think is that it is an in-state rivalry on prime time TV one and only one college game today.

no matter how much texas wants to destroy the opponent a&m doesn't want to look like fools either.

I would have to take a&m + 35

just think if they even get 1 TD it takes 6 to push.
I don't see texas kicking too many FG anyhow today it will be TD's the majority although if they do go for FG's vs. TDs A&M backers odds increase big time.

[MSUSpartan32]

BBD, I am actually on a play with you. First time in forever. Give me the 35.5.

[james4512]

i like A&M unsure if im gunna bet it, i like the eagles more tonight

[daggerkobe]

140-3

[AC1318]

140-3

Thats a lot of texas TD's

[laxdjock]

I normally would be on Texas....but it is a rivalry game, and while A&M sucks, I'm not sure I'm willing to spot 5 TD (and .5) right now. I'm going to look at Q & H bets....there may be a bit more value there.

You've got plenty of company.

[l7ustin]

texas has never beaten them but 35.

but this may be the worst texas a and m teams ever

and one of the better texas teams.

beware 35 is not enough

[SexyMit]

I'm leaning Texas Longhorns.... Yes and BBD they do need the style pts I understand that but this is rival game.

[Crayzee]

gonna be ugly-just like the ohio state / michigan game-
or better yet-okla/tex tech
texas covering 35 by halftime

Listen I know I have an A&M logo, but im not a homer. I will give you a nonbiased perspective on the game.

The past 2 years, A&M has been completly terrible. Fran's offense was option option option 3 yard throw option. Terrible playcalling, terrible defense, porous secondary. A&M hates Texas, they despise them - so they showed up to play big time. McGee who never passes over 150-200 yards threw for 350 yards.. why? Because Texas could not stop the option. McGee almost beat Texas 3 years ago using strictly the option. Texas could not stop the option so especially after 2 years of failed defensive gameplans, they loaded up against it. Suprisingly, McGee had the best game of his career.

As you know, Fran was fired. We wont be running any options. We are a better offense because of it, but at the same time - it takes away the aggies strength vs the longhorns. The only way A&M beats Texas is if this happens..

1. They run run run run run
2. The Offensive Line has the game of their lives
3. Jovorskie gets a large portion of the carries...

They havent done any of the above this year. Sherman's prostyle offense plays right into Muschamps strength. Quite frankly, if A&M decides to play a straight up prostyle offense, balanced run/pass, and uninspired defensive calls.. They will not win. They will lose by 21-28.

If Sherman takes a look at the tapes, realizes that Mack struggled with the option, struggled with stopping Jovorksie Lane, and kept the ball with conservative playcalling and the occational trick play - then A&M CAN WIN. They can win because the A&M team that showed up the past 2 years vs Texas was not the same team that showed up the entire season.

Personally, after watching Sherman, I think he will try to outsmart Mack. He will not do any of what I recommended and A&M will probably lose 42-17.

There is no way in Hell. IN HELL. that A&M loses by 35 points. The idea is completely idiotic and put out there because everyone knows how bad Texas needs to win this.

Colt hasnt even come close to figuring out A&Ms defense the past 2 years. He has played scared and scarred. If he struggles early, can't shake the past, then this will be an interesting game.


Prediction:
Texas 24 - A&M 17

Take the points and run. I would have set the line at Texas -20 so take the points and RUN. This is a gimme.

^^^^^^^^^ Great perspective! HORNS UP!

[mv09]

texas has never beaten them but 35.

but this may be the worst texas a and m teams ever

and one of the better texas teams.

beware 35 is not enough

2005 Texas team with Vince Young was much better than the 2008. The 2005 Texas A&M team was much worse than the 2008 team. The 2005 A&M team was ranked dead last. Yes, Last in the pass defense and A&M was winning the 2nd half.

I didnt bother to check the line until today. I literally laughed when I saw +35. Incredible.

A&M sucks, don't get me wrong. Their o-line is terrible, their defense can't stop anyone, but vs Texas a new team shows up. If the team plays inspired - you wont be worried about the line so much as the ML. With that said, Texas wins 24-17

[laxdjock]

Texas A&M +35.5 @ 2 units

[SBR_John]

No value normally with Texas -35. But is this a normal situation? If Texas is up 24 say in the 3rd qtr you would see some backups in there and some power eye sets. You will not see the power eye set or any other run formation. In fact, Texas is likely to run their semi hurry up offense. This is a beating waiting to happen. I think we are looking at a 56-17 type affair or worse.

AnM put up a lot of offense against a deflated Texas team last year. I have my doubts they can score much this time. To cover the 35 they need 14 to 21. Going to be hard.

[Rixsaw]

Would take A&M if it's 35.5. While Texas wants style point, it would not make a different if OU beats OSU because OSU is a rank team while A&M is a doormat.

[Biddey]

As stated in another post.. this game will not be close. With all due respect, a prediction of a 7 point win is a homer call, not that there is anything wrong with that.

Seems to be some over-analyzing happening... as my favorite coach used to say, "You can't make chicken salad out of chickin sh**." There is a big talent gap here that cannot be erased with emotion.

Regardless of the outcome it's a great tradition and will be fun to watch.

Cheers everyone.

No this is the first year the Aggies ever lost to Baylor.

Thats a sign of how horrible the Aggies truly are.

And Vince Young doesnt throw all that well he wasn't built to blow teams out.

Longhorns will cover this spread- dont bet on A&M.

Just warning yall...I wont be betting this but if you are going to I strongly advice taking Texas and laying 40

FYI, Baylor beat A&M in 2004. The year before the team and defense completely went to s*** ...

I never said A&M would win. If they played 100 times, Texas would probably win about 93 of them, imo. I think the game is close, Texas wins 24-17 with a late junk TD by Texas A&M. 35 points is way too much considering how just one year ago, A&M was faster and more physical than pretty much the same Texas team as last year minus a few players..

How close the game is depends on Sherman's gameplan. If he gets them on the board quick, pounds the ball, controls the clock - it could be a good one. If they pass early (and fail), it could get ugly.. Ill stick with the close game early with Texas taking a 2 score lead in the 3rd quarter b4 A&M gets a junk TD. Take the Points.

LOL at Texas A&Ms shit defense holding Texas to 24 points... If Texas only has 24 points at HALF i'll be shocked.

[GatorFan]

OVER 67 for me. A&M score at least 21, UT will take care the rest.

[bamasman47]

Take Texas 1st half (-20.5)

They know the whole nation will be watching for style points.
They will come out strong!

I agree and already played it earlier today.

[bamasman47]

A&M does score some pionts, the over might be a good play, not sure yet!

[SportsLockPicks]

just is so many points...
