The Aggies have been better than expected in their SEC debut season. They have two losses to Florida and LSU by a combined 8 points proving that they are not being outclassed by too much. <\/p>\n
#16 Texas A&M Aggies (6-2) vs #18 Mississippi State Bulldogs (7-1) Texas A&M<\/strong><\/p>\n Finishing with a .500 record or better is going to be tough though with road games at Mississippi State this week and then at Alabama the next. \u00a0Both the Gators and Tigers had to visit Kyle Field which is not very hospitable, but beating SEC teams on the road is another story.<\/p>\n Texas A&M rebounded well against Auburn last week but everyone is smacking down those Tigers this year…but not everyone is scoring 63 points while doing so. <\/p>\n \u00a0QB Johnny Manziel led an attack that put up more than 600 yards of offense while accounting for 5 TDs. \u00a0The Aggies punished them on the ground with close to 400 yards rushing. \u00a0In this second game in a row on the road Mississippi State is likely to put up more of a fight.<\/p>\n This is a statement game for the Aggies. \u00a0Win and you are closer in the eyes of those that matter to the top of the SEC West, lose and you are in the second tier (where everyone expected they would be). \u00a0With the way their offense can score this number is definitely doable, especially if they can get the ground game going again as the Bulldogs are a very good team against the pass.<\/p>\n Mississippi State<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bulldogs were looking for some respect last week when they visited Alabama. \u00a0Let\u2019s just say things didn\u2019t work out the way they had hoped. \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n They got thumped by the Crimson Tide and now they have to get off the mat against another team capable of throttling them. \u00a0They need a stronger defensive effort and will definitely need to score more than the 7 points they scored last week.<\/p>\n With just one loss the Bulldogs are still technically alive for a program altering season. \u00a0They have to regroup at home or 7-0 will turn to 7-4 before they know it. \u00a0QB Tyler Russell will definitely have an easier time of it against A&M than Alabama and maybe he can return to the form that threw just one interception in the 7 weeks leading up to last week\u2019s game. \u00a0They are going to need to score some points to win against the Aggies.<\/p>\n Mississippi State is 4-1 ATS this season at home but this is the first time they have been the underdog. \u00a0I like that mentality in a game like this but I just wonder if the team is going to be a bit shell shocked after last week. \u00a0This will be a true test of how good a coach Dan Mullen really \u00a0is. \u00a0Is he building the best program in the state of Mississippi or one that can truly compete. \u00a0I am not sure.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: Texas A&M -6.5 Aggies vs Bulldogs NCAA Football Spread\/Handicapping The Aggies have been better than expected in their SEC debut season.
