A&M is +3.5...a 3.5 pt underdog, and would win the bet by either winning the game outright, or losing by 3 or less.

The over/under is 67. If the two teams combine for more than 67 points, someone who bets the over wins, and someone who bets the under loses. If they score less than 67 points, the under bettor wins, the over bettor loses. If there are exactly 67 points scored it is a "push" and neither side wins or loses.

This is the case for "straight" bets. Figure this out before asking about parlays, teasers, moneylines and things of the like!

OK.....I guess I am close enough for now. That last sentence does not help
