Is there anything better than the combination of turkey and college football?

The Texas Longhorns look to take another step toward the BCS title game when they visit the Texas A&M Aggies tonight.

NCAA football betting odds have the Longhorns listed as 21-point faves.

With victories over Texas A&M and Nebraska, the Longhorns will surely gain a spot in the BCS championship game.

The odds seem pretty good for a win tonight since the Aggies have the 11th-worst pass defense in the nation, allowing 259.0 yards. That sure looks like a favorable matchup for Colt McCoy, who is the nation’s most accurate passer with a 73.0 completion percentage.

McCoy, however, did have four interceptions in losses to Texas A&M in 2006 and ’07.

The Longhorns should be tested by an Aggies offense that ranks seventh nationally at 459.3 yards per game.

The Longhorns rank third in the country in total defense, giving up an average of 238.7 yards.
