UCF vs. Texas A&M Pick
Spread Pick for UCF vs. Texas A&M
- UCF Knights +10 (5 units)
The UCF Knights have won two of three games this season. The defeat was against Vanderbilt of the SEC. The Texas A&M Aggies have also dropped one of their first three games this season, and it was ugly. They were pelted by 24 points against Oklahoma State this past weekend. They are expected to be near the bottom of the SEC standings.
Furthermore, UCF has the offense to win this game. They are only averaging 0.2 fewer points per 100 possessions than Texas A&M and have the better field goal efficiency. Also, UCF is in a groove from deep, connecting on 53.6% of their threes. The Aggies are ranked 170th in three-point defense. Defensively, the Knights have been shaky, but so have the Aggies.
Over/Under Pick for UCF vs. Texas A&M
- Over 168 (5 units)
I expect a barrage of scoring in this one. The UCF offense has been a threat. They scored 93 points against Vanderbilt of the SEC and 97 points in the win on Tuesday. The Aggies' defense has been shaky. They surrendered 87 points against Oklahoma State. UCF has connected on 51.7% of its shots.
In addition, Texas A&M will shoot a ton of threes, averaging 32 three-point attempts per game. This is key when considering the Knights are pegged at 179th in the country in three-point defense. These squads play at a quick pace, standing at about 60-65th in the country out of 365 teams in adjusted tempo. The over is a convincing 5-1 in the Aggies’ previous games.
