hmmmm

using the Sagarin ratings, 4.5 points is simply the home court advantage...so, the game is really about even with the venue the difference.

this game will be tougher than some of our road games in big12

yes, I agree...longer trip, different time zone, decent opponent, etc.

I think we win due to our pressure defense,
unless the game is called extremely close!

how the game is called won't impact the effectiveness of A&M's D.

Using the Vegas betting lines, A&M is either 5 or 5.5 dogs. You can't exactly make any bets using the Sagarin adjustments.

Unless everyone fouls out. We have gotten a ton of fouls at home. I hope that we do not get even more on the road.

I ahve a BAAAAAD feeling about this game. First road game of the season. Our guys will not be used to not playing in front of a friendly crowd. I think we get rattled and lose this one.

Hope I am wrong.

I have a great feeling about this one, espescially after reading BCG's pre-game comments. It may be close (3 to 5 points) but i feel confident we will win. I am not too worried about it being on the road. Our boys will be playing with something to prove espescially with all the doubters out there. Jones will show up big along with Acie. The D will be stiffling and better than any D they have seen all year. they will be overconfident at home. Should be a good win for a good guys, and shake off a lot of haters saying our team is overrated and should be exposed once conference play starts.

Well, I'm convinced! I wasn't so sure about this one, but since Devp23 thinks we'll win, there's NO WAY we'll lose!!!

Well, lets see, the two college basketball teams I root for (A&M and Duke) are both undefeated and I have picked each of them to win in every game they have played so far this season. So far I am batting a 1.000. That average there sure sucks. I must not know what I am talking about . . .

A&M should get the win tonight.

Aggies are still not a very good team, but they'll get by Pacific. Rude awakening come Big 12 play though.

Dev, it isn't so hard to pick winners and losers. Your average against the spread if you took A&M this year would have lost you money. Most of our games haven't had spreads and those that have we haven't covered.

Too bad the game doesn't start until about midnight!

+170 money line if you want to bet on the Ags to win outright.
