The 13^th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (2-0) will travel to Dallas, Texas to take on the SMU Mustangs (3-0) for this college basketball betting opportunity. The Aggies are -5.5 (-110) favorites for the spread.

The Aggies have won their first two games of the season with appealing play. Their most recent win was a 73-66 performance over the Ohio State Buckeyes, with Tyrece Radford adding 21 points to help seal it.

They are coming off of a 25-10 (15-3 in SEC) record last year, which was an excellent showing. However, they came up short and lost in the first round of the tournament to the Penn State Nittany Lions. This year, they have high hopes to improve with a loaded roster.

They have averaged 75.5 points per game and are efficient with the ball with 118.0 rating. This ranks 192^nd and 80^th in the nation, respectively, showing that they take care of the basketball (only six turnovers against the Buckeyes).

The Aggies defense has allowed just 56.0 points per game (23^rd in nation), but will likely change as they play tougher teams. Efficiency is key, which they rank 94^th for their rating on defense at 87.5.

The Mustangs are off to a great start to their season, boasting a three-game win streak in three attempts. Their previous successful game was a 78-67 outing over the Lamar Cardinals, in which Chuck Harris led the team with 18 points.

Under coach Rob Lanier last season, they finished 10-22 (5-13 in AAC) and had a terrible season to say the least. However, they have a solid squad on their hands and the coaching staff looks to take advantage of the opportunity.

They are averaging 83.3 points per game (111^th), with an efficiency rating of 111.6 (138^th). Despite running the score up on some games, their offense has not been as smooth (13 turnovers against the Cardinals).

The Mustangs have been appealing on defense, as they are allowing 61.0 points a game (64^th) and are efficient in their defense at a rating of 81.7 (45^th). Despite the good averages, they will be put to the test against a quality opponent.
