A&M Seeks Betting on College Football Rebound at Auburn

Texas A&M Aggies vs. Auburn Tigers

To begin with Texas A&M has shown betting on college football improvement this year.  However last week was an undeniable setback for the Aggies.  Slumping Mississippi State controlled A&M in a 28-13 home payout.  Likewise, the betting public found the results disheartening.  In fact, gamblers may be giving Auburn a serious look this week as a result.  By contrast the Tigers are coming off an impressive rebound victory and bye.  For this reason, “War Eagle” may be the cry of many handicappers this Saturday.  Commencing with recent results will be caution for overreacting either way.

Texas A&M vs. Auburn TV Coverage: ESPN

Auburn Tigers

Well rested Auburn is coming off a bye week that followed a 31-16 payout at Ole Miss.  More emphatically the Tigers are now 5-3 straight up and 3-5 against the spread.  Six of Auburn’s eight games have gone under the total.  Most important of all head coach Gus Malzahn’s seat has cooled off.  Following a 30-24 home loss to Tennessee, Malzahn was under intense fire.  Indeed, the two-game losing streak called into question his big contract extension last year.  Of great concern remains an offense that ranks 83rd overall in the country.

Texas A&M Aggies

Following the loss at Mississippi State, A&M dropped to 5-3 straight up but 6-2 against the spread.  The Aggies have gone under the total in five of their last eight games.  Head coach Jimbo Fisher took on the tough task of changing a soft Aggies culture.  Identical to that was inheriting a weak defense and offensive line.  Most of all Fisher has led to vastly improved defensive metrics.  To show, Texas A&M ranks 22nd in the country for total defense.  Balanced against that is an offense that ranks only 62nd for scoring.

Stats to Consider

Not withstanding last week, Texas A&M has been a good betting on college football value on the road.  The Aggies have come away with the cash in five of their last seven games away from Kyle Field.  Four of their last six away games have also gone under the total.  Conversely Auburn has not been a reliable betting value at home.   To show, War Eagle has paid in just four of their last 12 games at Jordan Hare Stadium.  Five of Auburn’s last six games have gone under the total.

Team vs. Team

Texas A&M has covered just two of their last five offshore betting matchups against Auburn.  Four of the last six between these teams went over the total.  But the Aggies have brought their best wagering value at Jordan Hare Stadium.  For example, A&M has won and covered their last three visits to Auburn.  Two of those three games went over the total.

Matchup to Watch

It follows that the public may overreact to last week’s Betting on college football results with extra money on Auburn.  Account of Texas A&M’s defense and Auburn’s inconsistent offense makes the Aggies a good play.  In short fading the public here is the way to go.
