Convince me not to bet on A&M... off to their worst start in a long time, i still feel like they have a chance to keep it within 3 TD's at home against tech. Yes i realize A&M has no defense and the offense is rebuilding. In the last 8 out of 9 times they have played at Kyle Field the score was decided by 7 or less. There are obviously many reasons to make me think not to bet A&M, one of the biggest being why they may not be able to keep it close now is because before they were able to control the clock mainly because their running game, eating clock keeping Tech off the field. Now A&M will be trying to pass (keyword trying) stopping the clock. Giving Tech more chances to score. However, I feel Techs defense is still suspect. I have not watched Tech much this year, and not sure how they have pressured the quarter back, JJ is terrible under pressure, but he is young and learning. If he has time, he is able to make good decisions. Anyway, i have only bet A&M once this season against NM and it was my biggest of the year, which won and told myself i wouldnt bet them the rest of the year. Now im thinking i might take them against Tech...

The line has dropped to 20.5 which means someone agrees with you but I personally wouldnt play the Aggies here........Their secondary is terrible!!!!! Slow and and they take bad angles and this includes their whole defense.........If Kines cant get these guys to play good defense Im not sure who can.......but I wouldnt play Texas Tech either.......giving up 3 tds on the road isnt a winning recipe.......plus they have bigger games on the schedule coming up vs Kansas and Texas but I dont think they will be looking past the Aggies as Leach would love to blow them out!!!!!!! I really think that the oddsmakers think that A&M will show up and keep this game close but in reality I just dont see how they can slow down the Tech offense........Harrell will throw for 500 plus yards on Saturday if he wants and if Leach wants him too.........I am a A&M fan and have been burned by them twice this year.......once on them and once against them so I am definitely not touching this one..............GL

I would just as soon put my money on the Detroit Lions as I would on A&M. Much better places to wager your dollars

I've been disgusted with A&M this year as every other aggie. They've just been horrible!!! But with that said, I actually believe they can cover the 21 at home saturday. That line just hovering around 21 and dropping to 20.5 just makes me wonder:think2:

I like the game but i wouldn't be putting anything big on it. GL!

I like A&M. They'll put up some points here. In two big 12 games so far, they are averaging 475 ypg and 30 ppg. That's not bad for a 21 point home dog. Texas Tech's defense is nothing special. I think A&M loses, but not in blowout fashion.
