Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines for Texas A&M vs Mississippi State

Texas A&M suddenly looks like a team that could make it to the College Football Playoff.

It beat Arkansas and then stomped Missouri 41–10, giving Missouri its first loss of the season.

South Carolina and Auburn are not that bad of road games, and New Mexico State is a win. LSU and Texas are home games. The Aggies can not forget about the Bulldogs, though.

Mississippi State’s season is going badly. They have lost five games in a row and have not beaten an FBS team yet.

It was not that bad in the 41–31 loss to Georgia, though. They seem a little less tense when they play; beating Texas A&M right now would make the season.

Why Texas A&M Will Win

You should just run the ball and keep going.

But Conner Weigman might not be needed as much as usual because Texas A&M beat Missouri by a huge margin even though he had been hurt for three games. He completed 82% of his passes in that game.

With 13 touchdowns, the Aggies average 5.6 yards per run. Five of those touchdowns came on the ground against Mizzou.

Arizona State rushed for 346 yards and over six yards per carry, while Florida and Texas ran for over six yards per carry and Georgia ran for five yards per carry. Mississippi State is getting slammed.

Why Mississippi State Will Win

This time, everything is stacked against A&M. Mississippi State needs and wants to win, but it does not have to.

What did the team like about Michael Van Buren Jr.?

When MSU gets a new head coach and has to rebuild, one good thing is that they can figure out what they need to do to move forward.

Starter Blake Sharpen is out for the year, so rookie quarterback Van Buren Jr. is being put in charge of everything.

However, he did throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to Georgia. MSU made the game more interesting.

It will take a few breaks for the Bulldogs to pull this off, but…

Texas A&M vs Mississippi State: Who Will Win

Texas A&M is not going to do anything crazy. And the Mississippi State defense does not make a lot of mistakes. It only turns the ball over three times all season.

Once more, the Aggies’ running game will win this. It will have the ball for almost ten minutes longer than the home team as it wins in a tough way.
