Pick
I’m backing Texas A&M here. The Aggies are just the better team and LSU, like it or not, is in absolute free fall right now as the Tigers do not know which way is up in their current slump. Texas A&M isn’t a juggernaut, but they’ve played some solid ball as of late and have performed well in spots away from home. This may be a fade of LSU more than anything else, but I’ll take Texas A&M here.
