Below, we have DePaul vs Texas A&M odds and a pick for Wednesday.

After a week off, Texas A&M gets back in action against DePaul on Wednesday. The Aggies have been one of the more entertaining teams in the country, especially when healthy.

Henry Coleman III and Tyrece Radford have both missed time early this season, which makes things very difficult for the Aggies' offense, particularly star guard Wade Taylor IV.

Coleman returned from his absence in Texas A&M's last game, a road loss to Virginia, but Radford did not. The hope is that a week off will lead to a fully-healthy A&M team, but we'll wait and see what happens at tip-off.

On the DePaul side of things, there's not much to like. The Blue Demons appear to be headed for a disastrous season — they have just one win in seven games. Their lone victory came against South Dakota, which is 276th on KenPom. The Blue Demons are 0-6 against top-200 opponents.

Will Texas A&M run away with this one? Here's what I think.

DePaul Blue Demons

As I stated above, it's been an ugly start to the year for Tony Stubblefield's DePaul squad. After losing 12 straight games at the end of Big East play last year, DePaul has found a way to start this season even worse.

The one thing DePaul does well is make shots from outside. As a team, the Blue Demons are shooting 37.8% from 3-point range on the year, which ranks 52nd in the nation. They also make their free throws (74%).

They don't shoot enough 3s, though, as they only attempt 34% of their shots from outside.

Everything else is ugly for DePaul, which ranks outside the KenPom top 200 in both Offensive and Defensive Efficiency.

Texas A&M Aggies

DePaul may be facing a Texas A&M team with a chip on its shoulder.

Their last time out, the Aggies lost an ugly 59-47 game to Virginia on the road. 47 points was an anomaly for the 13th-best offense in college basketball. The Aggies likely won't score less than 50 points in a game again this season.

For A&M, it all starts with Taylor, its superstar guard. Taylor opened the year with seven straight games with 14 or more points before falling short of that number against Virginia.

Taylor is a three-level scorer and a great facilitator for his teammates, as well. He scored 35 points against Florida Atlantic and is capable of single-handedly taking over a game.

As his teammates get back to full health, Taylor's life will only get easier.

A&M has shown it's the type of team that you can never count out, as it overcame a 21-point deficit to ultimately defeat Iowa State last week.

If shots aren't going in, Texas A&M will beat DePaul up on the boards. The Aggies are the best team in the country in offensive rebounding.

Betting Pick & Prediction

It's just too hard to see DePaul hanging in this game.

The Blue Demons lost to Iowa State by 19 in their last contest, and Texas A&M, at full health, is capable of blowing out any team in the country, let alone a struggling opponent like DePaul.

Pick: Texas A&M -17
