Texas A&M vs Florida Prediction

I’m leaning toward Texas A&M. Both teams are coming off sizable victories versus overmatched opponents, but this one should be pretty good. The Aggies notched 529 yards (333 rushing) and 29 first downs versus McNeese State last weekend. The defense was great too on 279 yards (99 passing) and 14 first downs allowed. Florida should be a good measuring stick on both sides of the ball.

Speaking of the Gators, they rolled through Samford with 632 total yards (466 passing) and 10.2 yards per play. Florida’s defense also notched some nice numbers with 205 yards (144 passing) and 15 first downs allowed. This weekend’s matchup should be much more competitive, and I like the Aggies to power out the cover.
