Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 11 Texas A&M Aggies (7-2, 4-2 SEC) and No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels (7-2, 3-2) are lined up for a Saturday battle between two seven-win SEC West teams. The contest at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford, Miss., is slated for a 7 p.m. ET start time. Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Texas A&M trounced Auburn Saturday, outscoring the Tigers 20-3 while outgaining them, 409 yards to 226. The win marked the fourth in a row for A&M, which has now outgained foes by 150 yards or more in four games this season. With RB Isaiah Spiller leading the way, the Aggies’ ground game has cranked out 191.7 yards per game, which ranks fifth in the SEC.

The Rebels defeated Liberty, 27-14, in a Saturday non-conference affair in Oxford last week. They racked up 324 passing yards in running their home record to 5-0. Since last season, Ole Miss has won seven straight at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. At 524.1 yards per game, the Rebels offense ranks fourth in the nation.

Texas A&M at Ole Miss odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 31, Ole Miss 30

Money line

Ole Miss is a slight lean. PASS on the money line and take advantage of the points in what figures as a pick ’em-type close game.

Against the spread

The Aggies have endured some injuries in the defensive backfield in the last month or so. It hasn’t really hurt them against the slate they’ve played. But the best passing team they faced in that stretch – Missouri – was a tougher game than what’s indicated on a schedule/results view. A&M benefited from 13 Mizzou penalties and a garbage-time touchdown.

Replace the Tigers with the high-octane, pace-race Rebels, and the Aggies injuries are more glaring. TAKE OLE MISS +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Under trends abound on both sides and in the series. Even high-scoring, fast-paced Ole Miss has hit the Under in four straight games. But look for a swing back the other way in this one.

The Rebels have, for injury and matchup reasons, slowed things down over recent weeks. But Mississippi will likely look to rev the engines back up in this spot. The Rebels will want to keep a deep A&M defense from leveraging its passing-down and running-down specialists.

When the Aggies have the ball, they should be able to get their playmakers in space to develop some explosive plays against a bottom-30 Ole Miss defense. Its a defense that ranks bottom-15 in stopping big plays.

TAKE THE OVER 58.5 (-108).

Auburn at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Auburn Tigers at Texas A&M Aggies odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 14 Auburn Tigers (6-2, 3-1 SEC) and No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies (6-2, 3-2) meet Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Auburn vs. Texas A&M odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings according to the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

The Tigers took care of Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss team at Jordan-Hare last week by a 31-20 count, covering the 3-point number while the Under easily connected. Auburn has consecutive covers for the first time since Sept. 4-11 during the non-conference schedule.

The Aggies topped Alabama Oct. 9, and have been rejuvenated since. They pounded Missouri on the road, 35-14, and then waylaid South Carolina last week by a 44-14 count at Kyle Field, easily covering a 19.5-point number.

Over/Under (O/U): 49.5 (O: -112 | U: -108)

Auburn at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 29, Texas A&M 26

Money line

AUBURN (+170) is playing a good brand of football right now, and I think QB Bo Nix is finally living up to the hype and playing well after some mediocre results early in his career.

The last time an Alabama school visited College Station, Texas A&M (-210) pulled off the upset, but I like the balance of the Tigers better and think they get it done on the road.

Against the spread

AUBURN +4.5 (-110) is a good play if you’re not quite feeling them straight up. This is going to be a close game between SEC West contenders, and neither can afford a third loss in the conference.

I just trust Nix and the Tigers offense a little more than QB Zach Calzada and the Aggies. Yes, A&M has looked good the past couple of games, but Mizzou and South Carolina pale in comparison to Auburn.

Over/Under

OVER 49.5 (-112) is the lean here. Texas A&M has posted 35 or more points in three straight while hitting the Over in three of the past four. That includes the Alabama game. While Calzada and the offense struggled immensely early on, he has found his sea legs of late.

Auburn has hit the Over just once in the past four outings but is averaging 34.9 points per game on the season.

South Carolina at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s South Carolina Gamecocks at Texas A&M Aggies odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The South Carolina Gamecocks (4-3, 1-3 SEC) travel to meet the No. 17 Texas A&M Aggies (5-2, 2-2 SEC) Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the LSU vs. Ole Miss odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Gamecocks picked up their first conference win, barely scraping by Vanderbilt 21-20 at home Oct. 16. On the road, USC is 0-2/1-1 ATS in conference, and the Over is 2-0 in two SEC road outings.

The Aggies followed up their monumental upset of Alabama by thumping Missouri in Columbia, winning 35-14 as 11.5-point favorites. No letdown there. A&M has covered back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Over/Under (O/U): 44.5 (O: -120 | U: -105)

South Carolina at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 38, South Carolina 13

Money line

Texas A&M (-1400) isn’t going to have a letdown against South Carolina, which has a rather moribund offense. The Gamecocks are scoring a paltry 21.9 PPG, good for 109th in the nation out of 130 FBS teams.

Still, risking 14 times your potential winnings is not a good long-term betting strategy.

AVOID.

Against the spread

TEXAS A&M -19.5 (-110) is the lean here, although the Aggies could struggle to put points on the board against South Carolina and its effective D. The Gamecocks are allowing just 324.3 total yards per game, including 172.3 passing yards per outing. That ranks 12th in the nation, so the Aggies will need a running game rather than relying on QB Zach Calzada and the pass attack.

I am confident A&M will solve South Carolina. If the Aggies can beat ‘Bama, they certainly can push past a team that barely topped Vandy.

Over/Under

OVER 44.5 (-120) is the play. In this day and age of college football, this is an ultra-low line. It’s set this way because of South Carolina’s flagging offense and sturdy defense. The Aggies are averaging 38.0 PPG across the past two games, and they’ll do most of the heavy lifting here, with a chance to even take care of the Over all on their own.

Texas A&M at Missouri odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M Aggies at Missouri Tigers odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 18 Texas A&M Aggies (4-2, 1-2 SEC) travel to meet the Missouri Tigers (3-3, 0-2) Saturday at Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium in Columbia, Mo. Kickoff is scheduled for noon ET. Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Missouri odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Aggies have just one win in three conference games, but that win was a biggie. They shocked the world, dumping No. 1 Alabama 41-38 last week in front of the 12th man. It was their second straight Over after the Under opened 4-0.

The Tigers have been spinning their wheels, going 3-3. Offense isn’t a problem, as they have scored 24 or more points in all six outings, and 34 or more on four occasions. But defensively, Mizzou is suspect, ranked 129th with 498.8 total yards per game allowed, while ranking 130th with 288.2 rushing yards per game allowed. The Tigers are also coughing up 37.5 PPG, checking in 122nd.

Over/Under (O/U): 59.5 (O: -107 | U: -115)

Texas A&M at Missouri odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 41, Missouri 24

Money line

Texas A&M (-420) is flying high after an upset victory over Alabama, but it’s still a risky play at 4.2 times your potential return as this is a typical letdown spot hitting the road after a big win.

AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

TEXAS A&M -11.5 (-107) has posted a 1-2 ATS mark in three previous games after a straight-up victory. Prior to the ‘Bama win, A&M had lost to a mediocre Mississippi State team at home before falling against Arkansas in a neutral-site game. The Aggies’ offensive explosion against Alabama was rather surprising, as they had averaged just 19.0 points per game (PPG) in the previous four outings.

However, Missouri has a brutal defense. The Tigers are very giving, and the Aggies should be able to have their way.

Plus, Mizzou is 0-6 ATS so far this season, so why stop fading the Tigers now?

Over/Under

OVER 59.5 (-107) is the best play on the board. The Tigers have struggled to stop everybody, and the Aggies will be able to pile up plenty of points. Texas A&M is also very giving since kicking off the SEC schedule, allowing 28.0 PPG.

Alabama at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Alabama Crimson Tide at Texas A&M Aggies odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC) travel to meet the Texas A&M Aggies (3-2, 0-2) Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Alabama vs. Texas A&M odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Crimson Tide passed a huge test at home last weekend when they doubled up visiting Mississippi 42-21. It was the second consecutive cover for Alabama after a 1-2 against the spread (ATS) start. The Tide have scored 31 or more points in each of their five games.

The Aggies opened the season 3-0 straight up and 2-1 ATS, but they have lost and failed to cover the spread in their next two games. The Over result in Saturday’s 26-22 loss to Mississippi State snapped a 4-0 Under run for the Aggies.

Over/Under (O/U): 51.5 (O: -105 | U: -120)

Alabama at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Alabama 41, Texas A&M 16

Money line

Alabama (-1000) will cost you 10 times your potential return. That’s a risky and poor betting strategy, even on the No. 1 team in the nation. The Tide are on the road, and while they should easily win, AVOID.

Against the spread

ALABAMA -17.5 (-115) is a strong play behind QB Bryce Young as the Tide’s offense replaced plenty of vital pieces and has kept on ticking.

The same cannot be said for Texas A&M, which replaced QB Kellen Mond with QB Haynes King. But the latter suffered an ankle injury Sept. 11 against the Colorado Buffaloes and was replaced by the ineffective QB Zach Calzada. He will make plenty of miscues against this top-notch ‘Bama D.

Over/Under

The OVER 51.5 (-105) is a strong play in this SEC West battle. The Tide have the potential to take care of the Over all on their own.

Yes, Texas A&M has hit the Under four times in five outings, but it has allowed 23.0 points per game in losses to Arkansas and Mississippi State, and Alabama is a much better offense.

Mississippi State at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Mississippi State at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Mississippi State Bulldogs (2-2, 0-1 SEC) travel to College Station, Texas, for an SEC West contest against the No. 13 Texas A&M Aggies (3-1, 0-1) Saturday. Kickoff at Kyle Field is slated for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Mississippi State is coming off back-to-back one-score losses, most recently a 28-25 loss to the LSU Tigers Saturday. MSU lost that game despite logging 29 first downs to LSU’s 15 and outgaining the Tigers 486 to 343 in total yards. The Bulldogs are 2-5 across seven regular-season one-score contests dating back to last season.

The Aggies dominated in three straight wins to start the season before falling 20-10 with just 272 total yards against the Arkansas Razorbacks Saturday. A substandard Aggies passing game failed to generate opportunities after the Razorbacks jumped out to a 17-0 lead. Texas A&M heads into this game ranked 105th in the nation with a 55.2% passing accuracy mark.

Mississippi State at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 28, Mississippi State 17

Money line

Early-week money has been flowing more to the A&M side. Profit leverage looks to be covered, so a PASS is recommended on the money line.

Against the spread

The Bulldogs are 1-8 ATS over their last nine road games against teams with a winning home record. The Aggies are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven series games between these two programs dating back to 2015.

The unexpected Texas A&M setback against Arkansas is making for some “bet-on-gravity” opportunity here. A&M went a combined 4-for-15 on third and fourth downs last week.

The Aggies beat the Bulldogs 28-14 in last year’s game, and A&M outgained MSU, 186 yards to minus-2, on the ground. Look for an angry home side to get back to a run game that dominated in the last month of the 2020 season.

Texas A&M will have to do so against a Mississippi State team that has stopped the run so far but those stops came against no teams ranked in the rushing top-40 and two ranked outside the top-90.

BACK THE AGGIES -7.5 (+100).

Over/Under

The total has edged downward early in the week. There is just a sliver of value on an UNDER 45.5 (-110) lean.

Texas A&M vs. Arkansas odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Texas A&M vs. Arkansas odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Texas A&M Aggies (3-0) meet the Arkansas Razorbacks (3-0) in a Saturday afternoon SEC West clash at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Aggies and Razorbacks will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Arkansas odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Texas A&M is No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, and allowed a total of 17 points while defeating Kent State, Colorado, and New Mexico. The Aggies have yielded just 239.3 yards per game and their 3.64 yards per play allowed ranks third in the nation.

Sophomore QB Zach Calzada has had some early struggles, but he threw for 275 yards and 3 touchdowns in A&M’s win over New Mexico last week.

No. 18 Arkansas has allowed just 16.0 points per game in its victories over Rice, Texas, and Georgia Southern. The Razorbacks have been especially tough on third downs, holding foes to a 27.7% conversion rate.

A&M won last year’s meeting — in which it was favored by 14.5 points — by a score of 42-31.

Over/Under (O/U): 46.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Texas A&M vs. Arkansas odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 27, Arkansas 21

Money line

PASS, and focus on a solid A&M play against the number.

Against the spread

The Aggies are 7-3 ATS over their last 10 games dating back to last October. Two of those three ATS setbacks were due to last-minute, garbage-time scores.

Texas A&M is minus-3 in the turnover margin and Arkansas is plus-3. Last year’s game had a more talented roster base in the Aggies favored by 13 points. A&M won by 11 after a garbage-time score for the Razorbacks.

Has that much changed since? BACK THE AGGIES -4.5 (-110).

Peg A&M as being able to find enough success on first and second down and leverage a talent advantage in the trenches.

Over/Under

Figure the market on overcorrecting the total here based on early-season mismatches. Again, looking at last year’s game — which finished with 73 total points — the O/U was 54.5.

BACK THE OVER 46.5 (-110).

New Mexico at Texas A&M odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s New Mexico at Texas A&M odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The New Mexico Lobos (2-0) and Texas A&M Aggies (2-0) meet Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station. Kickoff is scheduled for Noon ET. Below, we look at the New Mexico at Texas A&M odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Lobos have won each of their first two games, but each contest was close. They edged FCS Houston Baptist 27-17 Sept. 2 before pushing past rival New Mexico State 34-25 last Saturday. They’re 0-2 ATS, with an averaging winning margin of just 9.5 PPG.

The Aggies, No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports, rolled up 41 points in a victory against Kent State in the opener Sept. 4. They had its first test away from home in a neutral-site game in Denver against Colorado, winning a 10-7 defensive battle.

New Mexico at Texas A&M odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 38, New Mexico 6

Money line

You can’t play Texas A&M (-10000), as a $100 play on the money line would return just $1 in profit. That’s a ridiculous long-term betting strategy.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

TEXAS A&M -29.5 (-115) is a very good play here. New Mexico +29.5 (-112) has failed to cover each of its first two games against inferior opponents. The only concern for the Aggies is the fact QB Zach Calzada will get the start with QB Haynes King suffering an ankle injury against Colorado, and he is expected to be sidelined at least a month.

Over/Under

UNDER 49.5 (-108) is the best play on the board here.

A&M will be breaking in a new quarterback, and he looked a little shaky against Colorado. However, the defense was superb against both Colorado and Kent State, so don’t expect New Mexico to be able to do much. They have struggled against the likes of HBU and New Mexico State, they’re not moving the ball at will against A&M, especially in front of the 12th man.

The Texas A&M Aggies (1-0) visit the Colorado Buffaloes (1-0) Saturday at Empower Field at Mile High for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Below, we look at the Texas A&M vs. Colorado odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.

With Clemson’s loss to Georgia, Texas A&M moved to No. 5 in the AFCA Coaches Poll, powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Aggies had a strong outing to kick off the season in defeating Kent State 41-10. QB Haynes King had 3 interceptions but also threw for 2 touchdowns.

Colorado took down Northern Colorado 35-7. QB Brendon Lewis threw for just 102 yards but the Buffaloes totaled 281 yards on the ground.

Over/Under (O/U): 50.5 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Texas A&M at Colorado odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas A&M 31, Colorado 21

Money line

PASS on the money line as Colorado showed too much to bet on Texas A&M at -900, meaning you’d get one-ninth of your money on top of the original bet if it hit.

At that value, it’s not even close to worth it.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to Colorado +16.5 (-103) as it’s likely to surprise some people. I still expect the Buffaloes to lose but at home against a top-tier side, this should be a decent matchup.

The Buffaloes lead the all-time series 6-3, but more importantly, they showed a terrific run game in Week 1. If they can rush for over 150 yards, that should be enough to generate some scoring.

As noted, King had a horrible game against an inferior opponent last week. Colorado will be better on both sides of the ball, and with a spread of more than two touchdowns, I expect Colorado to cover.

Over/Under

BET on the OVER 50.5 (-105) as both sides found themselves as the primary scorers last week against far weaker competition. They combined for 76 points in their season openers.

Both sides will look to run their terrific backs often which, if successful, could run up the score.
