I do NOT predict a victory. However, I do predict a hard-fought game that goes into the 4th with the balance on the line.

Either a shootout or a blowout with Bama winning either way. aTm is not built for a close low-scoring, grind-out game with Bama.

You haven't watched A&M this year. We're tough. John Chavis has made toughness addictive. Starting with the Defense, of course. And it already has spread to the O. (As it always does, have to do, and must be so).
A&M IS built to grind it out to an end. And we will see it this Saturday.
(Well, you may not. You're going to be getting beaten by Ole Miss).

Wow. She has a really long hand! You know what that means: It has something to do with her vertical hold.

Tx.AM. Has got a 1 in 50 chance beating Alabama, The best front 7 in Football, We know the Defense end Garret he is very good and I heard the other def end is pretty good, Their was a lot of difference in Bama at UT, than AM at UT , I know they had a lot Injured If so they were Injured already by the 4th quarter and they still played AM. Equal as one not better than the other, We will beat AM by at least 10, If Hurts Is on by 20, AM will not play a team with the speed on Defense the rest of the year and the same might be said about AM, But the Tide will roll we have the best WRs in the Country, Good Luck you're going to need it

I'd go with a 2 in 9 chance. So would ESPN.

Helps AU more than a fAggie win.

The speed of your defense-- at all 11 positions-- scares me more than anything else mentioned (or not mentioned). Thus far this year our offense has relied on Trevor and/or Trayveon getting past the 2nd level and taking it all the way to the house. I'd already realized that y'all's 3rd level can close in and keep those 50 yard runs down to 25.

Check the history of top 6 matchups with the line at > 2 TD's.
History would point toward Vegas giving away money if you take the Aggies and they would have a good chance of winning outright.
Of course it's always different this time.

If we're going to be talking History then I'll say this: Let all the "experts" including Vegas, guests on Finebaum, ESPN, CBS, PBS, NPR, and The CIA, keep talking about a blowout. Not only during the Sumlin Era but over the past 40 years I've been watching Aggie Football we do much better when we're supposed to get killed (than we do when we're supposed to win). Let them all keep talking...

Umm, yes I have. Your "more" physical puts you on the same level as Vandy and Kentucky now. I don't buy the college team vs NFL BS, but you haven't faced a team half as physical as Bama. Good luck.
I see you all running out the clock in L fashion only to avoid injury.

If the Alabama "off" week happens against a quality opponent, then Alabama can be beaten. All teams left on the Bama schedule are hoping the "off" week is when their turn shows up on that schedule.
It's weird because Alabama seems to make their statements on the road and have their off weeks at home.
That said, I think they roll A&M something like 41-17

I do kinda get a 2012 vibe from this game, but then again I'm very pessimistic about every game.
OTOH, Lionnation is about as reliable as dukke v.

I've never bet on the Aggies. I stopped betting on sports in general after I realized I am the kind of person that chases losses. Badly. I'm very tempted to throw $100 on the Aggies to cover. I just don't see us losing by 2 scores unless we make a ton of mistakes.
Posted on 10/18/16 at 11:58 pm to Lionnation1993
I think it will be a game that will be a little closer than anticipated.
The problem with that is people think Alabama is going to win by 20-25 points.
If you line up and run the ball against Texas A&M, there's a good chance you're going to gash them. I'm not sold on Alabama's QB throwing the ball, though. If aTm can force a couple turnovers, they will do okay.
You just can't turn the ball over against Alabama. You can't give them a cheap score. They're too good for that. Especially if you're already behind when it happens.
I think it'll be something like 38-21. Maybe a late score to make it 38-28.

The refs will make sure Bama wins. It's called Bama privilege.
