Team Statistical Comparison

Texas A&M scores an average of 72.7 points per game while allowing opposing teams to score an average of 66.7 points per contest. Alabama scores an average of 80.2 points per game while allowing opposing teams to score an average of 75.9 points per contest.

This is a battle between a 19-10 (9-7 SEC) Alabama team and Texas A&M (18-11, 7-9 SEC). Both of these teams still have an outside chance of getting into the Big Dance. Wins are a premium at this time of the season. These teams both need to win out and do some damage in the SEC tournament. Alabama is in a better situation to make the NCAAs than Texas A&M but the Aggies could flip the script some with a shocking win over the Crimson Tide. However, the NIT appears to be a much more likely ultimate destination for the Aggies. A person who is interested in sports betting should find this game attractive.
