We have an angle that is 57-19 that favors quality teams off bye weeks. Also another angle that says to go with very big favorites off blowout losses is 26-11 against the spread. Remember we tell you that byes benefit teams that need it the most. Well A&M is off three straight blowout losses but to three straight national championship contenders: Ole Miss, Miss State, and Alabama. So you can see how they will benefit from the time off. Oh two of the three were on the road.

After getting their heads handed to them, I do not look for any letdown. Monroe lost both of their games to SEC teams by more than 30 points. ULM could muster only 48 yards on its last 15 snaps against Texas State at home to lose its third straight. How do they not wear down against an A&M squad that will be pissed?
