The Texas A&M Aggies will be looking to stay undefeated on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Columbia, MO, to take on the 19th-ranked Missouri Tigers.
The two former Big 12 rivals and now SEC rivals will be playing each other in a ranked battle for the second straight season after the Aggies dominated the matchup last season.
Here are my favorite Texas A&M vs. Missouri player prop bets for this game in my free college football picks for Saturday, November 8.
Texas A&M vs Missouri props for Week 11
| Player | Pick |  |
|---|---|---|
 Joshua Manning |
Under 2.5 receptions | +128 |
 Marcel Reed |
Over 37.5 rushing yards | -114 |
| Mario Craver |
Under 63.5 receiving yards | -114 |
Joshua Manning Under 2.5 receptions
Missouri Tigers starting quarterback Beau Pribula will miss this game due to an ankle injury and will be replaced by Matt Zollers. Against Vanderbilt in relief, Zollers was 14/23 passing for 138 yards and a touchdown in a half of play.
He did complete two passes to Joshua Manning in that half and targeted a few other times. However, his favorite overall target was Marquis Johnson, and in terms of completion percentage, Kevin Coleman Jr. was his best target.
I think this game will see many more targets and completions to those two rather than Manning. Texas A&M allows 19.5 completions per game, and Manning averages about 12% of the Tigers’ receptions. That averages out to about 2.34 receptions for Manning in this game if averages play out.
Tight end Brett Norfleet may also be available also which would take away more targets from Manning. I just love getting plus money here on a bet that leans slightly Under based on averages and percentages.
Marcel Reed Over 37.5 rushing yards
While the Tigers have a very good run defense, I am banking on the talent and running ability of Marcel Reed here to hit a low total for his season average. Reed averages 43.6 yards per game on the ground and 5.5 yards per attempt.
Two weeks ago, in their last game against LSU, Reed took off 13 times for 108 yards and two touchdowns. In the game before that, he had 55 yards rushing. He has hit this number four times, and two other times he finished right at 37 yards rushing.
If Reed can avoid taking big sacks, which count as negative rushing yards, then he should have no problem hitting this number between the times he will scramble and the designed run plays.
Mario Craver Under 63.5 receiving yards
After an extremely hot start to the season, Mario Craver has really dropped off in terms of volume and production. Craver had 100 yards receiving in each of the first three games of the season and surpassed the 200-yard mark against Notre Dame.
However, in the last five games, Craver is averaging 4.0 catches for 54.6 yards per game. While he has dropped off in volume in the pass game, they started getting him a little involved in the run game to still get him the ball in space.
The Tigers pass defense ranks seventh in the country, allowing only 155.4 yards per game. The Aggies will likely be able to surpass that number, but it will be a group effort, and the ball will be spread around the receiving options. This number is just too high for Craver against this defense.
