Best Bet and Prediction:

Even as a strict professional covering this team, Saturday’s heartbreaking 38-35 loss to Ole Miss was borderline devasting to watch, as quarterback Max Johnson led the Aggie offense down the field for three touchdown drives to take a 35-31 lead late in the fourth quarter. Still, nevertheless, Ole Miss, by the way of chunk plays in the passing game, secured their playoff hopes for another week.

Heading back to Kyle Field to face the struggling Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday night, reaching bowl eligibility for the first time in two seasons, gaining back their pride, and finishing the season strong is on the docket. Even in the loss, Pro Football Focus’s newest grades tell an interesting story regarding the Aggies offense, receiving a 70.2 overall grade. At the same time, the offensive line had its best game of the season in pass protection, ending the day with a 74.6 mark.

In years past, Mississippi State, led by now departed head coach Mike Leach (RIP), essentially owned this matchup due to A&M’s inability to stop his air raid offense engineered by quarterback Will Rogers. Still, the Bulldogs struggled weekly with a new coaching staff, while Rogers adjusted to the new balanced offensive scheme. I expect the Aggies to show up and show out on Saturday night.

Prediction: Texas A&M 28, Mississippi State 10
