Vanderbilt at Texas A&M: Three things to know
- The Commodores saw PK Oren Milstein opt out for the 2020 season due to COVID-19, so it will be interesting to see if they have any early kicking woes. The Aggies lost DB Elijah Blades to the opt out list, too.
- Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond totaled 2,897 passing yards with 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2019, and he also rushed for 501 yards and eight scores.
- These teams haven’t met since Nov. 21, 2015, a 25-0 road victory in Nashville as 4.5-point favorites.

Vanderbilt at Texas A&M: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Texas A&M 45, Vanderbilt 10
Money line (ML)
Texas A&M (-10000) should comfortably win this game, but why would anyone ever risk $100 to risk $1? AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
TEXAS A&M -30.5 (-110) is a heavy favorite at home, and while they won’t have the entire 12th man in attendance, they will have fans. A&M announced their COVID capacity plan is 25 percent of 102,733, which equates to 25,683. Those fans will be treated to an exciting win and cover.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 55.5 (-110) is the way to go. A&M is known for quick starts, posting 317 total points in the past seven season openers, or an average of 45.3 PPG. And those games weren’t against a bunch of patsies, as the span includes a home-and-home against UCLA and a conference game with South Carolina. They’ll get off to another quick start with Mond and company, and they could take care of the total themselves.
