College Gameday Guest Picker Odds: Week 14 Guest Picker for Texas vs. Texas A&M
The final week of the 2024 college football regular season is upon us, with rivalry games pitting longtime foes against one another on the gridirons of the Football Bowl Subdivision. Whether it be a longstanding breed of football hatred like Ohio State vs. Michigan or a renewed clash like Saturday’s Texas-Texas A&M showdown in College Station, there’s no shortage of on-field angst to look forward to this weekend.
With a glut of great games on deck, it’s quite an honor that GameDay chose Saturday night’s clash between the Longhorns and Aggies for their on-campus appearance, with ESPN returning to College Station for a second time this season.
Each week, BetTennessee has developed odds for whom the network will select to be GameDay’s celebrity guest picker. Since we do this for infotainment purposes only, you will not find these odds with any licensed Tennessee sports betting operator.

Who Will Be This Week’s Guest Picker?
Given the fact that Texas A&M’s most recent Heisman Trophy award winner (Johnny Manziel) was GameDay’s guest picker ahead of the Aggies’ showdown with Notre Dame earlier this season, we’re going outside of the box for our picks this weekend.
Atop our odds board when it comes to GameDay guest picker choices is longtime A&M fan and actress Eva Longoria, at +225, while longtime NFL wideout and Aggies alum Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers checks in at +400 and 2010 Butkus Award winner at A&M Von Miller is listed at +700.
Given that Evans will be playing the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte the next afternoon, there’s a good chance that the veteran NFL wideout will likely make an appearance via Zoom should he get the pick to join GameDay on Saturday, though anything’s possible given the wonder of private jets.
While we don’t think ESPN will double dip when it comes to guest pickers, it’s never out of the question that they could opt for Round 2 of the Johnny Football show, which is why we list Manziel at +750 to be a guest picker again on Saturday morning.
Longshots to keep an eye on include a pair of Texas music legends, with four-time Grammy winner Lyle Lovett (+875) and Robert Earl Keen (+1900) being the other GameDay picker picks for Week 14 in College Station.
As for the game itself, oddsmakers at Bet365 Tennessee currently have the Longhorns as a -230 favorite over the Aggies, with a six-point spread in favor of the visitors from Austin on Saturday night.
