UT Rio Grande Valley opened its season with blowout losses to Nebraska and Creighton and then proceeded to play a rather soft schedule. The Vaqueros are 10-6, although they have lost their past two games, including 79-74 to Texas A&M Corpus Christi on Saturday. East Texas A&M (formerly Texas A&M-Commerce) covered the number in a 75-67 loss to Northwestern State as a 9.5-point underdog. UTRGV is 2-3-1 ATS with three non-lined games in its past nine games, which illustrates the lack of competition the Vaqueros have played this season. They are laying too many points in this matchup, so take East Texas A&M.
