Texas A&M Aggies (3-6) vs. Auburn Tigers (3-6)
A couple of slumping teams lock horns Saturday, November 12, at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama. It’s Week 11 of the 2022 college football season, so here’s the best Texas A&M vs. Auburn betting pick.
Texas A&M shoots for its third straight victory over Auburn. Last year, the Aggies beat the Tigers 20-3 as 4.5-point home favorites. Texas A&M is a small 1.5-point road dog this time around, while the totals sit at 48.5 points.
The Texas A&M Aggies (3-6; 3-5-1 ATS; 1-5 conf.) extended their losing streak to five games last Saturday. They suffered a 41-24 defeat to the Florida Gators, failing to satisfy the odds as 1.5-point home favorites. The Aggies couldn’t score in the second half and blew a four-point spread from the break, allowing the Gators to score 21 unanswered points.
“They stymied us two or three times,” Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher said of the Aggies' second half. “Even on the RPOs that we threw, they put the extra guy in the box, and we just didn't get them blocked.
Sophomore signal-caller Haynes King got his fifth start of the season and went 23-of-45 for 279 yards and a touchdown. Junior ru nning back Devon Achane led the way for the Aggies with 16 carries for 122 yards and a couple of scores. He also had three catches for one yard and a TD.
