Texas A&M is this season’s poster child for a team that consistently comes up short on the scoreboard against conference foes while walking away with the cash: 4-9 SU but 10-3 ATS.
The Aggies snapped a 4-game SU losing streak (including a 23-point hammering by Iowa State) with Tuesday’s win over hapless Texas Tech – while simultaneously filling the coffers with a current 7-1 ATS run.
We won’t buck that kind of performance, especially with a Mizzou squad that finds itself in a dangerous spot: the Tigers are off a double revenger win over Oklahoma State with a double revenger versus Kansas State looming on the horizon.
Worse, the visitors will face an A&M team still seeing red over a 70-51 thrashing suffered at Columbia back in mid-January.
The Aggies just so happen to own an outstanding 7-1 ATS mark on this court when playing with sameseason, double-digit loss revenge, a stat that looks might strong next to Missouri’s 0-3 ATS effort versus sub .600 opposition this year.
The return of A&M F Khris Middleton, a preseason All-Big 12 pick, should shore up the Aggie defense – and with the hosts planning to slow the game pace to a crawl, the ‘Under’ could be worth a look, too.
High-flying Tigers fall back to earth with a resounding thud today.
