Texas A&M vs Houston Prediction
Houston has the ability to be a buzz saw when it wants to be, so I understand the respect it’s getting from oddsmakers. However, Texas A&M looked good against a quality Saint Mary’s team and survived a strong SEC. Texas A&M has athletes who can put up a fight. Also, Houston is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games as a double-digit favorite. Houston is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall. Throw in this being two Texas teams and it being in Oklahoma, and this has a chance to be a split crowd and a feisty, competitive game. Tight line, but I want the points with the Aggies.
