The current betting odds have Texas listed as a 5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas has looked great in their games this season with their 10-1 record overall and their 6-1 conference record which has them right at the top of the SEC. They are looking to go to the SEC Championship in their first season of being in the conference and they have looked great for most of the year, their only loss coming against Georgia. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has looked good in their games this season with their 8-3 record overall and their 5-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC too. They have looked a lot better in their home games with their 5-1 home record, but they have also had a much weaker schedule in the SEC. They are coming off a loss to Auburn in their last one and their defense looked terrible in that game. Texas has a good offense that is going to put up points in this game, but they also have a solid defense that has not been giving up many points this season. Texas still needs to secure their spot in the SEC Championship and can't afford a loss here so expect them to bring their best effort. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas to cover the spread in this game.

“I mean, I don’t think, in my opening press conference, I said, ‘Hey, I want to, I came to the University of Texas to win 10 games’. You know, we came here to win championships, you know, and that’s been our goal. That’s been the standard. That’s what we keep striving for.” - Steve Sarkisian on his team’s season finale this week.

“This one's certainly going to hurt, and we're obviously extremely disappointed. We had ourselves in a really good position. Obviously with who we play and what we're playing for, there's still going to be a lot of energy going into that stadium next week.” - Mike Elko after his team’s loss against Auburn in their last game.
