This is an 8* BLOWOUT on Texas A&M.
While I obviously think the outright win isn't out of the question, I will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as I expect Texas A&M to at the very least sneak in through the backdoor down the stretch with the handful of points it's been afforded here. The Aggies may have a brutal defensive unit, but WVU turns to a QB that made just one start all year, and with a few weeks off to prepare for this one, I think the advantage is clearly in Texas A&M's hands. Mountaineers QB Clint Tricket announced Friday that he was retiring after enduring five concussions over the last 14 months. Skyler Howard would throw three TD's in his first career start to help WVU end a three-game slide with a 37-24 win at Iowa State in the regular-season finale on November 29th, but I think will be in over his head today. It's true that the Aggies struggled down the stretch and on the defensive side of the ball all year, but coach Kevin Sumlin believe's his team is prepared: "For us, as I say every year, we look at bowl games the same way," Sumlin said. "It's a culmination of our year, and for our seniors it's a way for them to leave a legacy of who they are. You like for them to go out on a winning note. We've always treated the bowl game as the beginning of next season." A&M has won three-straight bowl games after beating Duke 52-48 in last year's Peach Bowl. Kyle Allen would supplant Kenny Hill as starting QB and complete 61.3 percent of his passes for 764 yards with nine TD's and four INT's in four games this year, having his best performance in a 41-38 win at then No. 3 Auburn on November 8th, completing 19 of 29 passes for 277 yards and four TD's. I think the AGGIES are under-valued in this spot.
