Mississippi State vs. Texas A&M: Odds, TV info, live stream, prediction
By John Buhler
Texas A&M football looks to get a big road win over Mississippi State football in Week 7.
Texas A&M football may get back into the top 10 with a road win over Mississippi State football.
The Texas A&M Aggies shocked the Florida Gators last week in College Station to improve to 2-1 on the year. It helped Jimbo Fisher’s team be within a spot of a top-10 designation once again. As for Mike Leach’s Mississippi State Bulldogs team, they have dropped two bad ones in a row after shocking the LSU Tigers in Death Valley a few weeks ago. So who’s going to win in Starkville?

This game’s over/under comes in at a combined 55.5 points. The line has moved up one point from being Texas A&M -4 initially. The Aggies would be a significant favorite on a neutral site. Odds are from Odds Shark.
After the way the first three weeks of the SEC football season have shaken out, Texas A&M feels about as good as Mississippi State feels bad. The Florida win is propelling the Aggies to what may be a second-place finish in the SEC West. After losing back-to-back games to the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Kentucky Wildcats, there is a chance the Bulldogs finish in last place.
Though Davis Wade Stadium isn’t the easiest place to play, Texas A&M is going to win and cover the five-point spread. The question remains how viable will Leach’s Air Raid offense be against SEC competition? Both teams will score several times, but it will be the Aggies getting the win in Starkville, as this one hits the over. Leach may be falling out of favor at Mississippi State already.
Prediction: Texas A&M 35, Mississippi State 24.
