Southern vs Texas A&M Prediction 

Texas A&M comes into this matchup with plenty of momentum after beating a ranked Ohio State team in their last game. The Aggies have won three games in a row and they have played great defense in those three wins. Southern has lost to all three D-1 teams they have played so far this year, but they are shooting over 48% from the field. We have seen Texas A&M win by margins of 26 and 32 points against the two lesser teams they have played this year, but Southern was able to give Iowa a battle earlier this season and I think they can keep this game respectable. Take the Jaguars here.
