Pepperdine at Texas A&M

Pepperdine has a losing record overall and is winless on the road. The Waves don't have a lot of size and are 8-20 against the spread in non-conference games. Pepperdine is also 5-16 ATS against winning teams, 3-12 ATS on the road versus opponents with a winning home record. Unbeaten Texas A&M has had a blistering start. The 19th-ranked Aggies beat Oklahoma State and Penn State in New York to win the Progressive Legends Classic championship round. Texas A&M has outstanding talent and depth, with five players averaging double figures, and gets even better with the addition of redshirt freshman point guard J.J. Caldwell (suspension), who makes his season debut here. The teams played two common foes in the Progressive Legends Classic: Texas A&M beat UC Santa Barbara and Oklahoma State by a combined 36 points while Pepperdine lost to both by a combined 39 points. And playing against a road team like Pepperdine with just one or fewer starters returning from last season is 9-30 ATS after they score 75+ points in four straight games. Play Texas A&M.
