Texas vs. Texas A&M Best Prop Bets

Texas Prop Bet

• Arthur Kaluma UNDER 6.5 Rebounds (-110) via BetMGM

Texas A&M's biggest strength is its rebounding, grabbing 56.3% of rebounds which is the fourth best mark in the nation. That could lead to Arthur Kaluma of the Longhorns having a tough day in the rebounding department. I'll take the UNDER on his rebounding total this afternoon.

Texas A&M Prop Bet

• Wade Taylor IV UNDER 15.5 Points (-110) via BetMGM

Wade Taylor IV has struggled in both games against Texas this season. He put up 13 points against the Longhorns on January 4 and then 15 points in the January 25 game. Both those games he finished under his set total of this afternoon of 15.5 The Longhorns have his number so I'll take the UNDER on his points total once again.

Texas vs. Texas A&M Prediction and Pick

Texas A&M enters this game ranking 314th in the country in effective field goal percentage. It's tough for me to lay points on a team that struggles putting the ball in the hoop to that extent. The Longhorns are the far superior shooting team, coming into this matchup ranking 93rd in that stat.

The Aggies are certainly the better defensive team, by not as wide of a margin as you might expect. They rank 28th in defensive efficiency while Texas ranks 109th.

The Longhorns have had some tough luck this season and the metrics back up the argument they're a better team than their record shows. I'll back them getting points in the second round.

Pick: Texas +6.5 (-110) via BetMGM
