Missouri vs Texas A&M Prediction, Odds, Best Bets - Week 7
No. 25 Missouri hosts Texas A&M as 3.5-point favorites in a noon ABC showcase.
01The Matchup
Missouri at 3-1 has quietly put together a solid season. The Tigers are ranked, at home, and playing in front of a noon crowd energized for an ABC showcase.
Texas A&M arrives unranked but dangerous. The Aggies were a top-10 team earlier this season before a loss to Kentucky knocked them down. Teams in this spot are volatile: they can either fold or come out with an edge.
The total of 48.5 is the lowest among this week's ranked games, which signals expectations of a physical, defense-driven contest.
02Betting Angle
Missouri -3.5 is the classic home-favorite number. It tells you the market thinks Missouri is slightly better on a neutral field. Getting the hook past 3 matters.
Texas A&M as an underdog is tempting because of the talent. But the Kentucky loss is a red flag, and going on the road against a ranked team is a tough spot. On the total, 48.5 feels about right for two physical teams in a noon game.
