Randy’s Pick
I know it’s not easy to win in College Station, and you can argue Texas A&M is the more talented team here. Auburn also hasn’t had the toughest schedule through 3 games. With all that said, Auburn is still a physical talented defense and has been able to find success offensively despite a limited passing attack. Texas A&M didn’t look good against Miami, which was its toughest matchup yet, and the ground game has been nonexistent up to this point. This has the potential to be a bloodbath defensively. Give me the free touchdown with Auburn.
