24-20 Auburn

42-35 AU...

No way 77 points are going to be scored in this game.

Auburn D against Mond and a weak running game and Auburn O line against their D...I see a field position battle with special teams, which am not sure we win.

21-13 A&M

Auburn- 21
Texas A&M- 10

Not sure? Have you seen our kick coverage this year?

Bleacher Report: Seeing this SEC clash become a shootout would be surprising. Both defenses are allowing fewer than 15 points per game, so timely execution—money downs and in the red zone—on offense will be especially critical. So far, Texas A&M holds the advantage. But Auburn is going to test that significantly.
Prediction: Texas A&M 23, Auburn 21

SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

Ross Dellenger: First off, Auburn, while showing great fight and determination in the season-opening win over Oregon, probably didn't play well enough to win that game. Let's just be honest. The Ducks dominated for a good three quarters, and their late-game gaffes really cost them. The Aggies, meanwhile, put up a strong effort in one of the toughest matchups of the season so far—playing at No. 1 Clemson. Give me the Aggies at home. They'll put us all on Gus Malzahn watch.

Chris Hummer: The Tigers have been up and down early in 2019 despite their 3-0 record, a pace largely dependent on the play of true freshman starter Bo Nix. The five-star’s looked brilliant in some moments but overall has a completion percentage of just 52.4 percent. This will be his first true road start of his career, and I think that makes the difference. Texas A&M 27, Auburn 21.

Brad Crawford: This one feels like a sucker bet and I'll go ahead and grab Auburn and the points. These are two evenly-matched teams and while the coaching edge falls in Texas A&M's favor, I wouldn't discount the likelihood that the Tigers control this game at the line of scrimmage. I'm not picking Bo Nix and Auburn to win outright, but if you're betting on it, take the four. 

Texas A&M 27, Auburn 24.

Chris: Auburn is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record while the under is 7-3 in their last 10 conference games. Texas A&M is 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

College Station is one of the harder road environments to go play in, not only in the SEC but in the entire country as Texas A&M just makes it tough from the opening kickoff, and a freshman QB like Bo Nix may have issues in that scenario. However, home field hasn’t been too effective between these two teams, as the road team’s covered 6 of the last 7 head-to-head meetings and Auburn has won each of their last three trips to Kyle Field outright.

The Tigers are also battle tested from taking down Oregon in the opening week, so I’ll take a shot with Auburn and the points in a game that I see Auburn winning straight up.

SPORTING NEWS

Zac Al-Khateeb: Texas A&M has looked great outside a 24-10 loss to top-ranked Clemson, out-scoring cupcake opponents Texas State and Lamar 103-10. Auburn, meanwhile, has dealt with inconsistency all year, even against overmatched competition in Tulane and Kent State.

Auburn quarterback Bo Nix will need to play better than he has all season, and the Tigers’ defensive front will need to limit Kellen Mond’s big-play ability. Something else to consider: Auburn is 3-0 all-time in College Station, winning by an average of 15.5 points in its last two visits. It’ll be closer this time around, but Auburn should find a way to come away with another win.

Pick: Auburn 27, Texas A&M 23
