Texas vs Texas A&M Prediction
The Texas Longhorns have been the more consistent team and should be favored, but they've also been underwhelming at times and have failed to cover 4 of their last 5 games. The Texas A&M Aggies have a defense that gets after the quarterback and the offense has playmakers with a dual threat under center. It's also a night game at Kyle Field, which is never easy. This game is dangerous for the Longhorns, and an upset wouldn't completely shock me. Give me the Aggies and the points.
