The Tennessee Volunteers will host the Texas A&M Aggies this afternoon in SEC play. This is a pivotal game for both clubs as they each enter at 12-5. The winner will emerge with a resume builder for the post-season, while the loser will likely fall back nto the bubble. A&M has not played well on the road this season, but this team appears to be putting things together as they have won their last three games, which included a breakthrough road game, where they got their first road win of the season. The Vols have also won three straight, but suffered their first home loss of the season in an ugly 56-38 loss to Alabama. Tennessee has struggled with scoring droughts all season, and A&M is good at digging in on the defensive end of the floor, and I think points will be hard to come by in this one, especially early. The Vols have really been a no-show at home vs. poor road teams, as they have taken the donut at 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven home tilts vs. a club with a losing road record. The Aggies have dug in deep on the defensive end while on the road vs. a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600, where they carry a 42-16 mark to the UNDER in their last 58 against them. Tennessee compliments the low-scoring success, as they are 14-2 to the UNDER in their last 16 at home vs. a team with a losing road record. The Aggies have now broken through on the road, and are capable of pulling off the road win. Over the past three seasons, A&M is 14-4 UNDER in the first-half. Since last season the Aggies are 17-5 UNDER in the first-half to total set below 61. Tennessee is 10-1 to the first-half UNDER this season as a favorite. Make the play on Texas A&M and take both the first-half UNDER and the full-game UNDER in this one.
