This is an interesting matchup between two teams that have stepped up to some decent competition this season and had a tough loss in their respective last outings. However, this feels like a ton of points to be giving up when both teams have played the similar level of opposition this season for the most part and the statistical numbers are pretty much the same across the board. I’ll take my chances with the Aggies and the points in this one.
