Missouri is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games and 3-9 ATS in their last 13 road games against a team with a winning record while the under is 5-1-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Texas A&M is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games while the under is 8-0 in their last 8 games overall. The road team is8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these two teams.
The points with a home dog like the Aggies are tempting, but realistically, the Aggies just don’t have the consistent offensive chops to keep pace with Missouri in this one. I just think the Tigers are too good, too talented and too focused to stumble against A^M here, so I’ll take Missouri and lay the points in this spot.
