NCAAB Wagering - Longhorns (+ 3.5) vs. Aggies (- 3.5)

By D.S. Williamson

A couple of terrific match-up tonight in the Big-12. This is the first. The Longhorns travel to A&M to take on an Aggie team that has done pretty good considering their coach, Billie Gilispie, bailed out on them after last year. The Longhorns have done well without Kevin Durant, the likely NBA rookie of the year. Against the spread, the Longhorns have gone 2 and 6 in their last 8 games. The Aggies have gone 3 and 5 against the spread in their last 10 games. The BetUS number is low enough, 3.5, for us to just decide who we think will win this game.

Here are some trends:

The Texas Longhorns are 5 and 1 against the spread in their last 6 games as an UNDERDOG.

The Texas A&M Aggies are 5 and 1 against the spread versus a team with a winning straight-up record.

The HOME team is 8-2-1 against the spread in the last 11 meetings between these two teams.

The Texas Longhorns are 0 and 5 against the spread in their last 5 games versus the Aggies at Texas A&M.

This is going to be one great game, isn’t it? No matter who BetUS college basketball bettors settle on, they are guaranteed a thrill in this game. I thought about taking the Longhorns just because I do believe that they are a better team than the Aggies, but I can’t go against these trends.

In college basketball home-court advantage always means more than the NBA. College basketball players really get pumped up when they hear the thousand of college students that absolutely go nuts during games.

This is a rivalry game as well. That means that the Aggies should be playing at their highest level possible. The Longhorns are good, but the Aggies are at home.

I’m taking them to cover in this game.

The BetUS NCAA basketball line is Texas A&M Aggies – 3.5 against the spread at home versus the Texas Longhorns.

The Aggies should cover in this rivalry game for the simple fact that they are at home.
