Miami Hurricanes vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction

I’m on Texas A&M here. I just think that the Aggies are the better team, and while Carson Beck has had his experience against SEC level competition, I think the Aggies have a coaching edge here as we’ve seen Miami make some questionable decisions in crunch time that I think could rear their ugly heads once again. I think that Texas A&M gets it done here so I’ll roll with the Aggies.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Texas A&M -3.5
