Louisiana Monroe Warhawks at Texas A&M Aggies

Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m.; Kyle Field; College Station, Texas

TV: SEC Network; Line: Texas A&M -26.5; Over/Under: 66

Garrett Sanders

Texas A&M is furious after the loss to Clemson. The Aggies will be ready for this game. They will score a ton of points very quickly. Louisiana-Monroe will put up a lot of passing yards in this game as well. Just not as enough points to stay with the Aggies.

There won’t be an upset this week in Aggie Land. If you like air attack offenses going at one another, this is a game you will enjoy watching! The Aggies win, they cover, and this game will hit the over.

Texas A&M: 59 Louisiana Monroe: 20 (Texas A&M -26.5; Over 66)

Billy Williford

I seriously can’t wait to we stop with all these lame games. The Aggies are coming off a roller coaster in their past game against the Clemson Tigers. If you watched that game, you know the Aggies has more than a chance to win the game. In fact, they probably should have won.

This is a scary thought for the SEC going forward. But, this week it is scary for a 2-0 UL Monroe team that squeaked past Southern Miss last Saturday.

This game won’t even be close despite the near win against Clemson.

Texas A&M: 48 UL Monroe: 17 (Texas A&M -26.5; Under 66)

Texas A&M is looking a heck of a lot better with its first-year head coach who is a Nick Saban protege than Tennessee football right now. Okay, that’s not fair since Jimbo Fisher is proven in his own right. However, nearly beating the Clemson Tigers is a huge deal for this team. This is a program on the rise.

Against the UL Monroe Warhawks, though, they won’t prove anything. A&M is facing a 2-0 team that is actually awful, and they’re going to expose that with their own offense. They’ll cover, but they won’t hit the over. That’s only because their defense will shut down what is not a good offense at all.

Texas A&M: 55 Louisiana Monroe: 7 (Texas A&M -26.5; Under 66)
