I am having issues finding the best play on this game.  It seems as if both teams are bringing back a ton of talent.  You have to like the offenses on both of these teams.  A&M's D gets the advantage....of course a 15 point fav should have the advantage on several fields.

I like the play of SMU team total over 20 points.  But I think if SMU goes over 20, then the total probably goes over 55.  And I hate making a play that can be covered by another play.

I don't know if I like the +/- 15, as I could see SMU winning SU, but if A&M gets after it, I can see them putting a hurt on SMU as well. 

I think the line in this game is pretty on.  The play here is probably the over. 

I'll take a closer look and have a play before KO.

I think the defenses are the key to this game.  A&M losing Von Miller will hurt but, they have a great replacement in Sophomore, Damontre Moore, to take Millers spot at the Joker.  Look out for him to have a big day.

I think SMU will put up points but not as many as people think, the A&M secondary is above average as well. 

As I am sure most are aware, A&M has one of the most powerful offenses in the nation.  They have one of the best RB tandems in the country (Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael).  At WR, Jeff Fuller, Ryan Swope,  and Uzoma Nwachukwu are more great weapons on offense.  I think the over is a great bet as I think A&M will score 40 alone!

I don't see SMU's defense slowing the Aggies offense down.  I also see A&M having trouble at first trying to slow down June Jones offense.  But I see the Aggies covering the 15.5 with a score looking like 45-28.

Craig - I love the insight, and thanks for the info.

But if you only see them covering the spread by 2 points, but you see the total being covered by 2 td's, wouldn't the play be the over?

You've got wind GUST.  Which may or may not be that strong inside of the stadium.  I would think rain would affect a throwing team more than wind.  Especially in the short passing game.  MAYBE if they launch a 60 yard pass downfield then a gust of wind may affect that pass.

FYI, there is no wind inside Cowboys Stadium.  If you didn't know where they are playing maybe you shouldn't be betting on this game.

A&M may cover the over themselves. SMU normally at least gets in the end zone twice.  GO Over

Hopefully you took your own advice.

 They are not playing in Cowboy Stadium.  You shouldn't be betting.  You don't even know where they are playing.  Get your facts straight.
