Here are the betting trends that are important if you bet on sports:

• Texas A&M has won 14 of its last 15 games SU

• Texas A&M has won four of its last five road games SU

• Nebraska has won 12 of its last 15 games SU

• Nebraska has won its last 13 home games SU

Texas A&M has been one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 14 of its last 15 games, and the only speed bump came against the rampaging Texas Longhorns. During the first 12 games of this run, the Aggies kept opponents under 60 points. They did it again last time out, as they beat Kansas State 64-56. If you bet on sports, you need to know that Mark Turgeon’s team has limited the opposition to just under 59 points a game on the season.

These are some of the head-to-head trends you can use to bet on sports:

• Texas A&M has covered four of the last six meetings

• Texas A&M has won five of the last six meetings SU

• Four of the last six meetings have gone UNDER the total

• Texas A&M has had the shooting edge in four of the last six meetings

• Texas A&M has had the rebounding edge in four of the last five meetings

Nebraska is one of the top defensive teams in the country. using field goal percentage defense as a measuring stick, only two teams are stingier – Florida State and Alabama. And only three teams have permitted fewer points on a per-game basis than the Huskers. At home they have allowed only 54 ppg, and that is a big reason why they have won 13 straight at the Devaney Center, which is useful information to bet on sports.

If one thing is clear, it’s that Nebraska is a different team on its home floor than it is on the Big 12 trail. They have defeated the likes of USC, Creighton and Colorado before the friendly crowd, but at the same time their defensive schemes have been enough to "junk up" an explosive Kansas team at the Allen Fieldhouse just a couple of weeks ago, as they lost 63-60. Make no mistake – if you bet on sports, you need to know that this team is a pain in the neck to play.

With Texas A&M knowing that it gets the chance to get Texas in a rematch just two days from now back in College Station, you may not see 100% focus from the Aggies. And Nebraska, which will slow it down even more than A&M is used to, is the type that will lake advantage of that all day long. Of course, if you bet on sports, you already knew that.
