Moneyline

Against the spread
BET TEXAS A&M -39.5 (-110).
Texas A&M is clearly the superior team in this matchup. The Aggies have won their last 9 games at home against non-AP-ranked teams, and they should easily cover the 40-point spread. Texas A&M’s strong defense and the passing game led by Reed will be too much for New Mexico State, who ranks 116th in passing. The Aggies have covered 7 of their last 8 home games, while New Mexico State has failed to cover in their last 4 against non-conference opponents. With a solid rush defense and momentum on their side, Texas A&M will dominate early and secure a comfortable win.
Over/Under
BET OVER 54.5 (-110).
This game is set to feature high-scoring play. Texas A&M has gone Over in their last 4 games, while New Mexico State has done the same in 5 straight. Defensively, both teams struggle: Texas A&M allows 37.1 points per game (127th) and 245.4 passing yards (105th), while New Mexico State gives up 204.8 rushing yards (123rd). The Over has hit in 3 of 5 home games for Texas A&M and 3 of 4 road games for New Mexico State.
