Texas vs. Texas A&M Prediction:
Take Texas A&M to cover the spread on their home floor on Saturday night. The Aggies have covered in 5 straight games and are 6-1 ATS on their home floor this season. Texas has played only one road game all season, picking up a 4 point win over NC State. In their only game against a ranked opponent they lost by 11. The Longhorns rank 21st in points per game, scoring 84.5 while the Aggies rank 113th scoring 76.2 points per game. However, those numbers got a big boost up for Texas as they dropped 98 points on 2-11 New Orleans and 121 points on 3-11 Arkansas Pine Bluff. Both teams rank in the top 20 defensively. I think the Aggies pull off a big win at home on Saturday night.
Texas vs. Texas A&M Prediction: Texas A&M -5
