The set-up: Texas A&M is 4-3 overall and 2-2 in conference action, while Mississippi State is 3-4 overall and 1-3 in league action. Mississippi State comes in hungry here after back-to-back losses, most recently falling 36-13 to LSU. QB Garrett Schrader had 238 yards, one TD and one INT. He also had 66 rushing yards:

"We played our asses off today, and we fought," MSU head coach Joe Moorhead told Hail State. "Was it clean, was it precise, was it what we needed to be against this team? Absolutely not. But I know this – when I'm in that locker room and I look at that team and I saw how we fought; we're going to build off of this one. We're going to take the good things and correct the bad things, and be a football team that continues to fight for the rest of the year."

The Bulldogs average 25.4 PPG and they allow 26.4.

The pick: Last week the Aggies beat Mississippi 24-17, but QB Kellen Mond did not look overly impressive, going 16 of 28 for 172 yards, one TD and two INT's. So far Texas A&M averages 31 PPG and it allows 22, however note that it's just 8-21 ATS in its last 29 home games vs. teams with a losing road record, while the Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS in their last five following a double-digit home loss. I think this is going to be a battle until the final whistle and as such, I'm grabbing the generous amount of points.

8* play on Mississippi State.
