The College Football Playoff 12-team field will come down to the season’s final weekend, also known as rivalry week. Among the current top 15 teams, the loaded college football slate will feature just one such matchup: The Texas Longhorns visiting the Texas A&M Aggies. The third-ranked Texas Longhorns, the favorite to win the SEC, will visit the two-loss Texas A&M Aggies with their College Football Playoff hopes likely hanging in the balance.
Although Texas does not have a win over a currently ranked opponent this season, FanDuel Sportsbook believes the Longhorns will have the edge in the hostile environment against their in-state rival. The prominent sportsbook updated the odds on Friday, pushing the Longhorns as a touchdown favorite. Yet, college football fans believe FanDuel has posted a sour line, aligning with A&M to win outright.
College Football Fans Seeking Texas A&M Upset Over Texas
According to On3 through Twitter:
NEW: Texas opens as a 7.5-point favorite on the road at Texas A&M next Saturday, per @FDSportsbook
Who you got?
The Texas Longhorns will visit the Texas A&M Aggies in College Station for the regular season finale in a matchup that will likely hold massive College Football Playoff aspirations. With back-to-back wins to finish the season, Texas will play in the SEC title game with the chance to get a bye during the first round of the College Football Playoff. Meanwhile, at 8-2 and holding the 15th spot in the most recent College Football Playoff rankings, Texas A&M must win to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Known as the 12th man, Kyle Field, the Aggies’ home, is known for its hostile environment. However, FanDuel Sportsbook believes the massive home-field advantage isn’t enough for Texas A&M to enter as a favorite, posting rival Texas as a touchdown favorite. The fallout of the recent spread update has college football fans believing the sportsbook is off base, posting the wrong team as the favorite:
