South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction

I’m on Texas A&M here. I think the Aggies are just in better form right now and are starting to come alive under Bucky McMillan and I think that carries over here. The Gamecocks just don’t have the horses to keep up here as far as I’m concerned, and I think the Aggies get the win and cover here. Give me Texas A&M.
