Texas Looks For Fifth Straight Win, SEC Title Game Berth
The Texas Longhorns are in first place in the SEC standings going into the final week of the regular season. But their position at the top of the SEC is a precarious one, as one loss this week will not only knock them off their perch in the conference, but out of the conference championship game entirely. Texas has won four games in a row coming into this game, but they are dealing with an injury to quarterback Quinn Ewers, who injured his ankle in their last outing against Kentucky which could have a huge impact on the outcome of this game.
Texas A&M Must Get Back On Track In Rivalry Game
Going into Texas vs Texas A&M, the Texas A&M Aggies have lost two of their last three games. Both of those losses came on the road against South Carolina and Auburn, with the Aggies hoping that they can avoid a similar fate at home here. The Aggies are 5-1 at home this season, winning five straight home games after dropping their opener against Notre Dame. But that Notre Dame loss is a concern as that was the best team the Aggies have faced at home until this game against the Longhorns takes place.
Texas vs Texas A&M Best Bet
Our best bet for Texas vs Texas A&M is for the Texas A&M Aggies to cover the spread at home as an underdog. We aren’t sure that the Aggies quite have what it takes to win this game outright. But with Texas dealing with a major quarterback injury going into this matchup, the Aggies are certainly worth a look while getting close to a touchdown.
