I am only doing this because outside of FL and Kentucky there really aren't very many intriguing match ups.

From what I have seen so far, both teams field a good Defense with a sputtering offense. It is really hard from me to predict this game. It is almost a coin flip at this point.

It looks like its shaking up to be a good match of old school SEC football.

Just because I am bias I see 23-20 Auburn.
How do you see this one ending?

I'll take A&M solely based on Nix being pretty meh so far. It'll take time for the young guy to improve, but we get him early enough and our defense has made some major strides.

If the Auburn defense can get to Mond early it could be ugly. That dude gets the worst deer in the headlights look I have ever seen. If they can’t I like A&M’s chances

Mond doesn't have the supporting cast that he had last year. just keep coming after him and don't allow him to sit in the pocket.

Is A&M’s defensive line going to be healthy? They’ve been impressive.

Yes, was addressed at weekly press conference after Clemson. Jayden Peevy was hobbled during the game, but should be good to go for Auburn.

I’m not sure Auburns offense can keep the ball long enough to let the defense rest. If Auburn can make enough plays and maintain drives then we win, otherwise the defense tires and A&M wins.

A&M is a good team and I’m not sure either team is that much better than the other collectively.

Mond has been pretty meh as well, at least in the Clemson game. Whichever team's QB plays better is probably the one that wins.

Week 4 is going to be a great week to wach football.

Tenn/Fla 12PM (Probably...maybe?)
Au/A&M 3:30PM
UGA/ND 8PM

SC/Mizzou could be interesting
Mich/Wisconsin could be interesting

Agree, but we have 2 years of tape on him. He's shown improvement under Jimbo. He had some really elite games vs Lsu and Clemson last year. He's more good than bad and I think progress to the mean after a very bad game vs Clemson.

Normally I would say losing your RB would hurt, but the running game for A&M has been non-existent even with Corbin in the game.

Bo seems like a gamer. He stepped up when needed against Oregon, I assume he can rise up again vs. A&M. Will be a defensive struggle but unless Mond comes out much sharper than he was vs. Clemson, I'll take AU for the W. 16-10.

Tenn, Fla could be fun because TN is such a trainwreck, but there is nothing interesting about SC and Mizzou.

I was thinking along the lines of 3-2 AU.

I lean towards Auburn on this one. I think they have some missing parts on the offense... but A&M most certainly does.

Barring a Gus meltdown, which is always a danger in any game, I think Auburn wins by 3.

Hush your mouth!

2-0 Kansas State rolls into Starkville to play a 2-0 Mississippi State
(lest you forget last time Auburn played KSU it was a 20 - 14 game)

Badly for Auburn and Texas A&M

Since realignment...

3-4 = Auburn vs State
3-4 = Texas A&M vs State

I wonder if he's not a little banged up from last week. I know he really took some shots last week and had major cramping issues, which if bad enough can haunt a player for days. If he's healthy I expect him to have a good game. He won't have 2 subpar games in a row and will be looking to make a statement
