Here's the EDGE: They're at home for one, so give me a field goal in favor of UCLA even before I break it down.(Two very average head coaches, no edge except for home field)
Texas A&M is breaking in a new QB, they also were a terrible defensive team last year ranking 99th(!!!) in the nation in total defense, btw the SEC offenses aren't very explosive outside of Bama if you didn't notice. Once A&M played a big 12 team in the bowl their defense was completely exposed. That was with Myles Garret, Daeshon Hall, Justin Evans, Claude George. Ok ok so they should be better this year right, well I guess so... I mean you can't get worst right. They still have the same ole defensive coordinator in Chavis, their defense should be a weakness once again.
The one thing we can count on without a doubt is Josh Rosen who is the most talented pocket QB in the country. Josh Rosen will shred this already weak defense.
Ok so how is UCLA defense going to hold up against Texas A&M offense? New QB, 2/5 offensive lineman gone, 3/4 top pass catchers gone. UCLA has had a very respectiable defense and they will hold A&Ms inexperience against them in this one.

I'll be attending thus game. Bruins seem like the easy pick, but my gut tells me A&M will keep this close. UCLA offense looks like thier strong side and A&M defense should be able to keep this close...No play at this moment, but I'm heavily leaning A&M on this.

I respect your input. But what tells you A&M covers if you don't mind me asking? They have zero edge in this from a matchup standpoint, they lost a ton of talent. They also barley beat UCLA at home last season in OT. So now you're telling me coach sumlin, one of the worst coaches in the SEC is magically gonna put it all together and beat one of the best QBs in the nation on the road without Johnny Manziel or Trevor Knoght? Hmmmm...

One Defense- Chavis highest paid DC...yes 1st year was atrocious, but look @ last 2 games...improved rushing D vs LSU and KS. Not much to consider? But good takeaway from a bad defensive year. Roll over to year 2 w/ Chavis...who's coached multiple 1st round defensive players drafted in the 1st round...this guy knows what he's doing....players will be much more experienced with coaches philosophy. Expect mixed packages and different looks to confuse this UCLA defense....A&M is my dark horse in SEC this year.
If you don't like what their defense will look like, you have 1/2 the team who's lives were affected with Storm Harvey...motivation for these kids? ...definitely. Winning this game wont be a far fetch.
I'm wetting my pants just thinking about this game...
