Pick
I’m sticking with Texas A&M here. I was a bit surprised to see Texas A&M as a home favorite here, but I guess I shouldn’t be considering that the Aggies haven’t given up anything easy at home this season and no SEC team has been able to walk into College Station and walk out with a win. Tennessee’s a solid team and this win would be a nice boost to their resume, but a win here would mean just as much if not more to Texas A&M. I’ll back the Aggies in this spot.
