Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction

I’m on the Aggies here. I frankly do not trust the Bulldogs at the best of times offensively and seeing how they lost that rivalry game against Ole Miss has me really concerned with the state of affairs for Mississippi State this season. I think that the Aggies are the far better team in far better form and it looks like Bucky McMillan has the ship steered in the right direction. Give me Texas A&M here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Texas A&M -8.5
