T.M. Selection: Texas A & M Aggies - Moneyline

1) I like the Texas A & M Aggies to win this game against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, November 2nd. The line is in the -3 to -3.5 range and for my money the better value is therefore with the money line in the -155 range.

2) The Aggies, from a yardage standpoint, have the much better offense in this match-up. The defenses rate nearly equal. Also, Texas A & M has shown a knack for winning tighter, tougher games while the Gamecocks always seem to find a way to lose these types of games. That is a big part of the reason Texas A & M is 7-1 this season and 5-0 in the SEC while South Carolina is only 4-3 this season plus has a losing record in the SEC.

3) Look for the South Carolina defense to struggle here with a dual threat QB in this one. After the Aggies switched to Reed at QB against LSU last week that changed everything in that game. Also, the Gamecocks got a couple defensive TDs to get a huge lead in their win over Oklahoma before the bye week. The Aggies pull away as this game goes along and will go all out with a bye week on deck.

T.M. Prediction: 27-17 Texas A & M.

Line: -154
