COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The final spot in the SEC Championship Game will be determined on Saturday when the Texas Longhorns square off with the Texas A&M Aggies as 5.5-point favorites. There are +180 legal sports betting odds for the Aggies to defend home field and earn a win in the Lone Star Showdown.
Texas vs Texas A&M Betting Odds
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Total |
---|---|---|---|
Texas | -5.5 (-115) | -220 | O48.0 (-115) |
Texas A&M | +5.5 (-105) | +180 | U48.0 (-105) |
The Aggies and Longhorns played every year from 1915-2011 and now get to renew their rivalry with Texas joining the SEC. The stakes of this rivalry have never been higher, as the winning bet at Texas sportsbooks will be facing the Georgia Bulldogs in the conference championship, while the losing team likely won’t make the College Football Playoff.
The injury status of Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers will play a major part in the outcome of the Lone Star Showdown. Ewers practiced on Monday but there wasn’t much word from coach Steve Sarkisian about his game status for Week 14.
The NFL prospect suffered a mild ankle sprain in last week’s win against Kentucky. Texas has a competent backup in Arch Manning if Ewers remains sidelined, but playing the freshman quarterback at a packed Kyle Field doesn’t sound like a recipe for success.
Back The Aggies +5.5 Vs Texas At +105 Odds
The Longhorns remain favored at legal college football betting sites without much update on Ewers ahead of Saturday’s game. Bets on Texas A&M will start to flood in if Ewers ends up being unable to play in the biggest game of the season.
The Aggies are 5-1 outright at home this season with the support of “The 12th Man.” Get your bets in on Texas A&M now before sportsbooks show love to the Aggies on the moneyline, spread, or to make the College Football Playoff.
