No. 5 Texas A&M Aggies at Colorado Buffaloes (FOX)

Saturday, Sept. 11 at 3:30 p.m. ET; Empower Field at Mile High; Denver, Colo.

Line: Texas A&M -17; Over/Under: 50

Moneyline: Texas A&M -850; Colorado +580

Last week’s 41-10 win over the Kent State Golden Flashes didn’t show anything impressive for the Texas A&M Aggies, but it looked similar to their win at the end of the 2020 regular season over Tennessee football. That doesn’t speak well for the Vols.

Anyway, Jimbo Fisher’s team now gets a Power Five test on the road in what should be a thrilling afternoon matchup. Texas A&M will take on the Colorado Buffaloes in a game that should be thrilling because it’s being played in Denver.

Colorado is coming off an ugly 35-7 win over the Northern Colorado Bears. Karl Dorrell had a solid 4-2 season last year, his first as head coach, but this year is his best chance to prove himself, and he’s got a great opportunity in this former Big 12 matchup. Can the SEC get revenge on the Pac-12 for what happened with the LSU Tigers and UCLA Bruins last week?

Prediction

The thin air in Colorado and A&M’s overconfidence will make this game closer than it should be. Thy are still trying to move past Kellen Mond. As a result, this will be somewhat of an ugly affair that the Aggies do pull out. However, they won’t cover. There will be just enough offense between the two schools for the game to hit the over.

Texas A&M: 35 Colorado: 24 (Colorado +17; Over 50)
