Mississippi State Bulldogs Betting Trends
Mississippi State has had a challenging time covering the spread, with a 1-7 ATS record in their last 8 games. However, their record against Texas A&M (5-2 ATS in the last 7 games) suggests they could defy expectations. Their struggles on the road (UNDER in 6 of the last 8 games) and within the Southeastern conference (1-5 ATS against conference opponents) highlight their challenges in high-pressure games.
Texas A&M Aggies Betting Trends
Texas A&M has been formidable at home, with a 6-1 SU record in their last 7 home games. However, their overall performance in the Southeastern conference (4-9 SU in their last 13 games) and recent ATS struggles (2-4 ATS in their last 6 games in Week 11) suggest some vulnerability. The Aggies have tended to go OVER in total points, particularly against West Division opponents and in November games.
