No. 20 Baylor Bears at No. 21 Texas A&M Aggies (-9), Total 75 |
For only the seventh time in 108 series meetings, both Baylor and Texas A&M are ranked in the AP Top 25. The Bears are coming off a 49-26 win over Iowa State as 15-point home favorites.
Quarterback Robert Griffin III gets most of the attention, completing a nation-leading 80.3 percent of his passes. He is one of only 12 FBS players averaging more than 300 passing yards a game.
Overall, the Bears are the only school averaging 300-plus yards passing and 200-plus rushing yards through five games. In fact, Baylor is the only team ranked in the top 20 in both categories.
sportsbook Bettors will likely back the Bears due to their 4-1 ATS record this season, while the ‘over’ has cashed in four of the five contests overall.
Texas A&M will be seeking its seventh straight win against teams from the state of Texas, not dropping such a contest since a 49-39 decision to the Texas Longhorns in the 2009 regular season finale.
With 67 wins in the series, Texas A&M owns more wins against Baylor than any other opponent, posting a 67-31-9 all-time mark.
The Aggies are one of just five teams nationally with two rushers that rank among the top 50 nationally, as Cyrus Gray is averaging 95.8 yards a game, while Christine Michael checks in at 92 a contest.
In making your college football betting picks, take into account the Aggies being 10-7 ATS in Big 12 Conference games and the ‘over’ is 11-7 in that situation.
