Texas A&M and Louisiana Tech finished last year quite a bit different from a gambling perspective. The Bulldogs covered the point spread in 10 of their last 11, while the Aggies won money for their backers in just 3 of 12 to conclude 2011. Texas A&M has also covered the point spread in just 2 of their last 10 games taking place on a Thursday, so superstitious bettors may want to avoid the Aggies here.
Louisiana Tech last met up with the Aggies back in 2010 when they were on the wrong end of a 16-48 final score. Texas A&M has won all 8 head-to-head meetings against the Bulldogs since 1987, and they’ve managed to cover the point spread in all but 1 of those matchups. Texas A&M has won by 32, 31, and 28 points in the 3 recent meetings since 2002.
The Aggies lost 4 of their last 6 games last season, but 2 of those defeats were in overtime and another was by just 2 points against the Texas Longhorns. Texas A&M did plenty of scoring last season, but their defense regularly let them down. The Bulldogs won 7 straight in the regular season before falling to the TCU Horned Frogs in their bowl game. Louisiana Tech also possessed an excellent offense, but they went under the total in 4 straight games to end the year thanks to an above average defense.
