Bama v. TAMU predictions -- no Bama or TAMU fans allowed

I'm looking for unbiased opinions on the Bama/TAMU game, which is obviously why I"m not interested in hearing from the fans of the two teams.
So, for all of you without a dog in the fight, chime in and let's hear how you think this one will play out.
I guess I should go first: I think TAMU will win. I just don't think you can discount how incredibly good Manziel is at the game of football, and how important that is to the outcome of the game.
Bama obviously has the better defense, but it ain't good enough. TAMU will still be able to put points on the board. And Bama's offense looked shaky against Va. Tech. I don't see them lighting up the scoreboard.
Now normally this would result in a typical Bama win where they grind it out and win like 21-14 or something. You know, like a typical Bama/LSU game. But Bama won't be able to grind out a goddamn thing when Manziel gets in the endzone three times in the first quarter. And he just might.
And so I think there is a decent posibility that, like last year, Bama will find themselves in a siutation where they need to score, and score quickly. And i'm not confident they can do that.

I just always feel like Bama is going to win every game.

Alabama will kill them.
Saban got two weeks to prepare. ATMs defense is god awful. Alabamas defend is insanely good who holds a legit qb to a 5-26 game? Alabama by three touchdowns
ETA: Texas ATM gave up 28 to Sam Houston state...

If Bama's D can't stop JFF & co., then aTm wins this one. I don't think Bama's offense can hang with a shootout. I'll give aTm's offense a slight edge over Bama's D but it will be close. Aggies win a close one.

A giant turkey falls from the sky and starts gobbling and pecking at the players and the game is canceled.

JFF runs wild, AtM pisses on bama.
31-24
(BTW, I am pretty biased and not even trying to be objective on this one)

I think Alabama's D plays a better game, but I have a feeling they won't be able to run the ball/control the clock effectively enough to give their D a legitimate rest.
If Bama runs the ball well- Bama
If not- A&M

I want Bama to lose, but I am afraid that A&M's run defense is just too bad for them to win. I think Bama, even with an O-line that isn't as good this year, will still control the line on both sides of the ball.

Bama will use ball control to try to keep JFF off the field. They'll make a few stops on defense and that's all it will take.
Alabama 31, Texas A&M 20
