The real Matt Rivers of OffshoreInsiders.com has a free pick Saturday is on Texas A&M +2 to Washington.

Reason: Washington definitely is the more talented team when compared to the Aggies and probably has the better shot to go farther when all is said and done. I really like the offensive firepower that Thomas, Overton, Bryan-Amaning and Holiday bring to the table but and a bit but here, I just do not trust the Huskies traveling like this as Lorenzo Romar’s team never seems to be able to play nearly as well away from the state of Washington.

UDub is 6-2 thus far on the season and has been scoring like crazy. This team goes over the century mark routinely and has smacked everybody except for a pair of games in Maui when they did little in losses against Kentucky and Michigan State. Besides the win against Virginia on the big island the Huskies have been in their comfort zone throughout and now venture back out on the road down south to Aggieland against a pretty good A&M squad.

Mark Turgeon probably does not have his best team but Khris Middleton has been very good and at 8-1 along with being at home against a Washington squad that is sketchy at times on the road I can’t help but back the Aggies in this pretty much home dog spot.

This game may not turn out to be the instant classic that last season’s was but the Aggies in front of their fans are going to win this game more than they won’t and that statement means everything to me at this number.

The pick: Texas A&M +2.

For more information: Matt Rivers says pretty much the first college basketball only Saturday is here, save the Army-Navy game, and I’m more than ready. A pair of winners today led by this 400,000* from Mormon country involving Arizona and BYU. The Wildcats and Cougars are a pair of solid quality programs that are looking to bust through and make some noise once again in the college hoop landscape. One team will do just that.
