Texas A&M

Better team, with the better coach, at home. A&M is 7-0 at home. Carson Beck does not play well on the road. It should be a good game but I’m not going to overthink it, Aggies win.

Texas A&M ML (-150)

@Ih8coldweather

 They are not a better team.  In fact miami has much higher graded players and draft picks.  Their DEs are ranked #1 and #2 .  Bain and their lineman mauignoa might be two top 15 picks.  Toney is special.   Mario is a better coach than elko as well.  Youll see.

@Ih8coldweather

 Agreed

@Jerseyboy89

 Crazy talk. Elko runs circes around Mario. I’m not even a AM fan but it’s not even close

@Jerseyboy89

 Miami is not the better team. You have to be joking. 

Texas A&M was undefeated in SEC going into rivalry game at Texas. 
 
Meanwhile, Miami lost to SMU and Louisville, both of which are ass, but other than ND those two teams were the only two worth somewhat of AF on their entire schedule. Both losses, one at home. 

Cristobal is most certainly not a better coach than Elko. That is absurdity on the highest level. 

@jpitty

 Um tamu struggled.down the stretch and shoudlve lost to a bad south carolina team and got beaten up badly by Texas.   Thats exposed

 Also the great Mike elko gave up 40 pts to arkansas.

I went to college with Mario...took several classes with him including a business class, biology and sports management.

He's a bright guy.

He's won as a player, and is a very good coach.

Elko is no slouch...a grinder.

Miami needs to remain poised to win this game.

A&M has the best OL in the country.  That unit will overwhelm the vaunted MIA defensive front.

Home field advantage is an extra plus for the Aggies in this game, too.

would you guys take miami in 7pt teaser?

@Jerseyboy89

 Mario is not a good coach. In game he is the worst.Mario is an awesome recruiter but that is where his expertise stops.

Miami played the 45th ranked strength of schedule and lost to 2 avg teams. I don’t know where all the Miami love is coming from because today they will be outmuscled on both lines. 
I see Texas A&M by 17-21.

@Jerseyboy89

 Elko runs circles around Cristbal.

FFS Cristobal couldn't figure out how to take a knee last year

Elko is a much better coach than Mario. He will out coach Mario. 

This will be a great game and will be won in the trenches.

@M_Bison

 Miamis OL is better….

@Jerseyboy89

 Wrong again. Nothing new there 

@M_Bison

 Naw, Miami has the best offensive line in the country.

@UrdaddyinAZ

 lol. Miami’s offensive line couldn’t block SMU or Louisville. Miami has two skill players. Toney and Fletcher. Eliminate both and they have no shot. 

Conception is the best skill player on the field today and none of the muppets on ESPN are talking about him. 

Miami has too few variables on their side. 

I don't have much of a read on this game.  Both teams have their fair share of flaws.  Neither played a particularly difficult schedule.  Miami lost a head scratcher against Louisville.  TAMU needed a miracle to pull of a win against a bad South Carolina team at home.  I trust Reed at home more than Beck on the road though.  Thinking it'll be a close game with slight edge to TAMU due to home field.

@UrdaddyinAZ

 Then the parity is fantastic.

A&M has an undersized front that has not been pushed around in the run game much this season.  Maybe the 2H at Texas, but Aggies held up well at Missouri.

Canes don't look like they have the run game to exploit that.

Miami proved me right, they have the better line.
