SMU Mustangs vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. High total, but I still think the Aggies are running with the Bucky Ball mentality that worked so well for the Bulldogs when coach McMillan was at Samford, but the Mustangs are also really talented and I think that last loss was more about how good Vanderbilt is this season and less about the Mustangs getting crushed. I think this is going to be a high-scoring game so give me the over in this one.
