Texas vs. Texas A&M Odds
The odds makers currently have the Longhorns as –21-point favorites.
The Aggies will need to remain disciplined to avoid taking costly penalties and get the same results from their offensive line to move the ball on the ground against the Nations number one ranked rush defense if they hope to avoid a repeat of last years meeting.
