My Tennessee vs Texas A&M NCAAB Betting Preview
This is a pretty short and sweet handicap for me, honestly. I like the spot for Texas A&M, which is fresh off of an embarrassing loss to Mississippi State, 70-54, on Tuesday.
Buzz Williams' team isn't so reliant on making shots, instead relying heavily on effort plays, rebounding and defense. But this game against the Bulldogs was one of the rare instances where the Aggies were run off the court in the second half.
To put it simply: That's not gonna happen twice in a row.
You have to bring your A-game against a team as physical as Tennessee, but it's quietly not a good rebounding team.
I think the biggest reason is that Felix Okpara isn't a great individual rebounder. He's a good rim protector and a good shot blocker, but there are openings for physical frontcourts to just relentlessly pound Tennessee on the glass in a way that you wouldn't recognize in years past.
Tennessee has been bad on the road straight up, too. It's 2-3 against the spread away from home this year and lost three games on the road outright versus top-20 teams.
Give me A&M in a bounce-back spot, as this team has the veterans and the coach to be motivated.
