Texas A&M football 2024 game-by-game predictions: A&M surprises in Elko’s first year
Texas A&M football vs. New Mexico State Aggies
The Aggies Bowl returns! Who will exit the week with the rights to the nickname? Who will exit in disgrace en route back to Las Cruces?
Okay, I may have tipped my hand there with the phrasing. But I think it’s a safe bet that the Aggies will emerge victorious here.
Texas A&M, I mean.
Even so, Mike Elko’s squad shouldn’t take this one lightly—and this time, I don’t just mean for App State reasons. No, New Mexico State is coming off of a year in which they notched their first-ever win over an SEC team after knocking off Hugh Freeze and Auburn in late November of 2023.
Of course, this A&M team is better than that Auburn team. Even so, though, you can’t play around in games like these. I know Jerry Kill is no longer the head man for NMSU, but I don’t want to take my chances with a team that is trying to build momentum to get out of the gutter.
I’ve got A&M emerging victorious here after a long two weeks to ponder their loss to the Gamecocks. This one will be emphatic—52-10 to move to 9-1 in College Station ahead of the final road trip of the year.
