Longhorns at Aggies - Thanksgiving Day Football Odds

The second-ranked and unbeaten Texas Longhorns are just two steps away from playing for the national title. They need to take care of business on Thanksgiving Day football at 8:00pm EST against Texas A&M and then win the Big 12 title game next week against Nebraska. The college football odds favor Texas on Thursday against A&M in this game that can be seen on ESPN but the Aggies have been no pushover this season, especially at home. Texas is a 22-point favorite at online sportsbooks.

The Aggies rolled to a 38-3 victory last week against Baylor that made them bowl eligible. They have the offensive firepower to at least give Texas cause for concern and the Aggies are playing at home. "It's going to be fast and crazy," said A&M defensive back Jordan Pugh, "You've got to savor the moment. You have no choice. All of us as seniors have to savor this moment and get this win." Texas A&M defeated Texas in 2006 and in 2007 but they were blown out last year in Austin.

The Longhorns have been focused all season as only two of their games have been decided by less than 24 points in college football betting odds. The Aggies on the other hand are hit or miss. When they hit, they are very good, but when they miss they are very bad. The average margin in A&M's six wins has been 27 points while in the five defeats they have lost by an average of 27.4 point per game. "These kids are about ready to give me a heart attack," head coach Mike Sherman said, "One week is one thing. One week is something else."
