Texas vs. Texas A&M: How to watch, odds, weather, injuries, series history

A win over Texas A&M would put Texas in the SEC Championship Game and probably assure a single-digit seed in the 12-team College Football Playoff.

On Thanksgiving week, No. 3 Texas football (10-1, 6-1 SEC) reignites the Lone Star Showdown against the No. 18 Texas A&M Aggies (8-3, 5-2 SEC) for the first time since the 2011 season in College Station. Texas is a road favorite for the fourth time this season.

And it is the first time this season that first-year head coach Mike Elko and the Aggies are a home underdog against the Longhorns.

The winner of this highly anticipated matchup between the Longhorns and Aggies will face the No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta, GA, on Dec. 7. The stakes couldn't be much higher for this renewal of the Lone Star Showdown between Texas and Texas A&M this upcoming weekend.

A win over the Aggies would essentially lock up a spot in the College Football Playoff for the Longhorns, regardless of what happens in the hypothetical SEC Championship Game matchup against Georgia.

Here's a look at the game information, betting odds, injuries, and more for the Week 14 matchup in the Lone Star Showdown between No. 3 Texas and No. 18 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, TX, on Nov. 30.
