Texas A&M over South Carolina (+17.5), Saturday 3:00 PM (CT), Williams-Brice Stadium

This could be a trap game for the Aggies. Texas A&M is coming off a huge win over Arkansas and faces a huge matchup with Tennessee next week. I think it’s very possible that the Aggies come out flat on the road against the Gamecocks.

While South Carolina is not a good team, they do have a defense that has surrendered very few point so far this season. That is partly due to the caliber of offenses they have faced, but I do think the Gamecocks are decent on that side of the ball. Add in the fact that this game is being played inside Williams-Brice Stadium and I think we could have the combination for a fairly close game. I don’t think the Gamecocks have a chance to pull off the upset, but I do think they stay in the game through 3.5 quarters and find a way to cover the spread. Texas A&M 34, South Carolina 17
