Texas A&M football @ Mississippi State, 10/19
The Aggies come out of their bye in Starkville next week. This has been a pretty cursed spot for A&M over the years, but much like in 2020 and 2012, there's something different about this Aggie team than others.
And just like in those years, I think we see the Ags get a pretty decided victory against the Bulldogs. Mississippi State is, at the time of writing, emptying the clip against Georgia, but is still nowhere near the Dawgs on the scoreboard. If we've learned one thing from college football, it's that these kinds of games can really be taxing on a team moving forward.
Mississippi State will return home after a hard-fought game only to greet an even more dominant offensive and defensive line than what they saw against Georgia. That may sound crazy, but so far this season, it's been the case.
Even though they get the Ags at home, there's no changing the fact that this has statistically been one of the worst defenses in the Power 4 conferences. A&M should be able to control the game with their balanced offensive attack and be done with the Bulldogs before halftime.
Please, no Starkville voodoo this season.
Prediction: Texas A&M 44, Mississippi State 17
