Why Texas A&M Aggies are a good bet +17 ½?
Yes, Texas A&M has a couple of losses on their record. Before calling them a bad team, though, check out who they lost too. Clemson beat the Aggies 24-10 in Clemson. The Aggies won that game against the spread because they got 16 points. The Aggies also lost 20-28 to the Auburn Tigers. That game could have gone either way with Texas A&M only a single score away from tying the matchup.

Alabama vs Texas A&M College Football Final Betting Analysis
Yes, the Aggies covered against Clemson on the road and played Auburn tough at home. But, there are a couple of things that put this game into Alabama’s win and cover column. First, the Bama defense is very good. Alabama only allows 190 passing yards per game. The Tide only allows 14.8 points per on average.
The reason Alabama is so effective on defense is because of the second thing to consider, Alabama’s style of play on offense. Forget the stats for a moment and just marvel at 4 potential NFL first round or second round wide receiver draft picks: Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III, Devonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle. All 4 can catch a pass from Tua Tagovailoa, the likely Heisman Trophy winner, and take it to the house.
Tagovailoa has thrown 23 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He’s completing 76.4% of his passes. 17 ½ feels like a lot of points. In this matchup it’s not because Bama should score over 40 while A&M is lucky if they score more than 20.
