Texas A&M (+3.5) over Auburn, Saturday 6:00 PM (CT), Jordan-Hare Stadium

If the Aggies are going to compete for the western division title this year, this is a game they absolutely must win. While Auburn certainly seems to have improved overall, the Aggies are more talented on both sides of the ball. However, this is the type of game the Aggies have lost over the past few season. Are the Aggies finally read to make the next step? I believe they are.

We’re probably looking at another low scoring game here as defense is surprisingly the strength for both teams. Auburn’s offense exploded last week, but I tend to believe that was due to the inferior competition rather than the Tigers actually finding answers on offense. Ultimately, the Aggies’ weapons on offense will prove to be too much for Auburn to hold in check all game. Texas A&M 27, Auburn 24
