Texas vs Texas A&M-Commerce picks and predictions

Our pick for this matchup is the over on the total score betting line. We believe that both teams have the potential to put up a high number of points and that the final score will be above the 139.5-point threshold.

One factor that supports our pick is the fast-paced nature of both teams' offenses. Both the Longhorns and Lions have shown the ability to push the ball up the court and create scoring opportunities in transition. This could lead to a higher number of possessions for both teams, and therefore more opportunities to score.

Additionally, both teams have strong perimeter shooting, which could also contribute to a high-scoring game. The Longhorns have a number of players who can stretch the floor with their outside shooting, while the Lions have shown an ability to knock down three-pointers at a high rate. If both teams are able to get hot from beyond the arc, it could lead to a flurry of points.

Given these factors, we expect the final score to be in the range of 80-75 in favor of the Longhorns. This would result in a total score of 155 points, well above the over/under betting line.

PICK: Over 139.5 (-110)

Final Score Prediction: Texas 80 - Texas A&M-Commerce 75
