The Texas A&M Aggies and Miami Hurricanes do battle Saturday in a week 3 college football showdown at Kyle Field. The Miami Hurricanes look for their second 3-0 start in the last 3 years. The Texas A&M Aggies need a win to get a game above a .500 record.

The Hurricanes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. The Aggies are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. ACC and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The under is 20-8-2 in Hurricanes last 30 road games. The under is 5-1 in Aggies last 6 non-conference games.

Neither team looked great last week, but I’ll chalk some of it up to both clubs looking ahead to this game, which will make or break playoff hopes for both sides. With that said, there’s some real concern for the Texas A&M Aggies who haven’t gotten any offense going through 2 games. Texas A&M cant run the ball and is 102nd in total offense and 102nd in scoring offense. The Miami-FL Hurricanes have one of the better quarterbacks in the country, and he currently has a top-20 rushing attack supporting him. Texas A&M is currently 86th in run defense. Miami will have its chances to steal this game on the road. I’ll grab the points with the Canes.
