Texas A&M has lost five ot its last seven games both SU and ATS, but the UNDER has cashed in three-straight Aggies games and a whopping 10 of their previous 11 heading into Saturday’s meeting with the Kentucky Wildcats.
There was just a tick under 135 combined points scored in those previous 11 A&M games with the Aggies responsible for 70.2 points per game over that stretch. The Aggies managed to snap a four-game winless drought with a 71-56 win over Ole Miss and will look to make it back-to-back wins with the surging Wildcats in town Saturday.
Kentucky has won four-straight games (3-1 ATS) and has been relentless in the process. Each of those four wins came by double-digits and the Wildcats have been averaging 82.75 points scored per game in those wins.
The Cats currently reside in the top spot in the SEC with a 10-3 record in conference play and with the way the team is playing, and particularly freshman Jamal Murray, it will be tough for the Aggies to trim that lead.
