Why bet on the Texas A&M Aggies
It’s fair to say that last week was a bit of a disaster for Texas A&M (18-5, 7-3), as they ended up dropping both of their games, which meant that they took a bit of a drop in the national rankings. The Aggies have now lost 3 of their last 4 games, and will be entering into a bit of a panic mode. That might not actually be a bad thing, as it has looked for a little while as though they have been in cruise control. A good team can learn how to thrive in the face of some adversity, and that is what I think will happen with the Aggies. If there is a problem with Texas A&M this season, it is perhaps that they have been a little susceptible on the road. A win here would help them get a little of their confidence back when heading away from home. The Aggies are averaging 76.9 PPG, and are giving up 65.4 PPG.Why bet on the Alabama Crimson Tide
One look at the records posted by both of these team would likely have you putting the Aggies on your betting slip, but this Alabama (13-9, 4-6) team should not be overlooked. They are coming into this game having just put together back to back wins, but perhaps more importantly, they have no less than 3 wins against ranked opponents this season. The Crimson Tide seem to enjoy rising to the challenge in big games, and this is one that definitely fits that bill. Alabama have won 3 of their last 4 games on home court, and are most certainly not going to be a pushover in their own building. The Crimson Tide are averaging 68.0 PPG, and are giving up 67.8 PPG.
