Why Texas A&M can cover
The Aggies are led by sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman. Weigman, who made four starts as a freshman, came out hot against New Mexico in last week's season opener, completing 18 of 23 passes for 236 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. He matched his career high in scoring passes in the first half with four. Entering the year, Weigman was the only FBS player with more than 120 pass attempts that didn't throw an interception, and the only SEC player with more than 85 pass attempts in 2022 without a pick.
One of Weigman's many weapons is sophomore wide receiver Noah Thomas. He earned a starting job after a productive offseason, and went off in the season opener. He logged the first multi-touchdown game of his career with three scoring receptions against New Mexico. He came up with a 15-yard score in the back of the end zone in the first quarter, and then hauled in 34- and 9-yard TD grabs in the second. His three touchdown receptions were the most by an Aggies player since Christian Kirk had three in the Belk Bowl against Wake Forest in 2017. See which team to pick here.
Why Miami can cover
Despite that, the Aggies are not a lock to cover the Texas A&M vs. Miami (Fla.) spread. That's because the Hurricanes are formidable as well and are coming off a 38-3 win over Miami (Ohio) on Sept. 1. Junior quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is entering his second full year as a starter and is hoping to put his injury-filled 2022 season behind him. In the season opener, he was solid, completing 17 of 22 passes (77.3%) for 201 yards and one touchdown. He was intercepted once, but had a rating of 159.9.
The Hurricanes ground game in Week 1 was led by junior Henry Parrish Jr., freshman Mark Fletcher Jr., freshman Ajay Allen and sophomore Donald Chaney Jr. The four combined for 35 carries for 251 yards and three touchdowns. Parrish led the way with nine carries for 90 yards and one touchdown, including a long run of 37 yards. Fletcher rushed nine times for 76 yards (8.4 average) and one TD. Chaney also scored a touchdown. See which team to pick here.
