Texas A&M looks to move to 9-0 today with a win over the Missouri Tigers, who are starting a first-timer at quarterback in this game thanks to the loss of Beau Pribula to injury a couple of weeks ago. The Aggies bring an excellent defense to CoMo, particularly when it comes to rushing the passer and getting off the field on third down,
Missouri will also be without reliable pass-catcher Brett Norfleet in this one, as the junior tight end has also been ruled out with injury. The Aggies will be down a starting linebacker in Scooby Williams, which brings a little balance, but no doubt freshman QB Matt Zollers would dearly like to have Norfleet out there as a security blanket.
As game time draws nearer, Aggie fans are growing a little more confident. This is an A&M team that has beaten the odds time and time again this season, and they'll have to do so in a big way in this game— if they win, they'll accomplish a feat that no SEC team has since the 2012 Aggies.
Final odds and predictions for Texas A&M vs. Missouri: Can Aggies salt away final win of road trip?
As game time draws nearer, the line for Texas A&M and Missouri, according to Fanduel, is beginning to tighten ever so slightly— despite Aggie fans' optimism. Missouri has been a popular upset pick around the country this week, and that's beginning to be reflected in the spread.
On Wednesday, the line favored the Aggies by 7.5 points. Now, it's only a 6.5-point spread in favor of the maroon and white— not the biggest movement in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but it's something to monitor headed into this game.
Missouri has been a solid team this year, and they come into this game with their backs completely against the wall. This isn't the first time the Aggies have faced a team in this situation, but don't be surprised if the Tigers are a trendy choice on the morning shows like College Gameday and SEC Nation.
Nonetheless, I think this is a game that this Aggie team handles with aplomb. This begins the final stretch of the regular season, which has been A&M's emphasis ever since the collapse in 2025. Give me the Aggies to kick off that stretch in style, winning 38-17.
