Tough to see A&M pulling this out after how they looked last week. Their defense is simply awful. Not quite sure what their motivation is right now, either... maybe a Cotton Bowl trip?

I watched that game and to me seems JFF just had a off night. If he hits any 2 of the wide open receivers he overthrew.. the outcome has a different look.

Y'all usually play very well on the road, LSU is just a bad matchup for y'all. Mizzou isn't quite the stadium that strikes fear into opposing players' hearts. Plus y'all are familiar with them from the Big 12 days.

I'm optimistic about the game and expect A&M to send us to Atlanta. Gig 'em!

Not an A&M fan, just have the logo beside my name for this week.

Oh that's right, I knew I'd seen the username before and was wondering how an A&M fan got on here. Sorry for the mistake.

I'm not confident, at all. I thought Ole Miss was our best shot, and now I really don't see aTm knocking 'em off. Too much momentum for Mizzou, too much derp for the Aggots.

'sides, I'm very concerned about Clemmy.

Honestly thought OM @ Home had the better shot at beating Mizzou than A&M going on the road @ Mizzou. I have no faith at all in A&M's defense and JFF can't do it all by himself.

aTm has always had the better shot of knocking off mizzou. Their loss to lsu last week didn't hurt that, it helped it. Sumlin is auditioning for the So Cal job, they are trying to stay out of the Carquest Bowl (or whatever) and keep a shot at the Cotton alive.

Furthermore, aTm has the best passing offense going against the 2nd worst passing defense. This game is also on primetime and on ESPN. Manziel is a slut for the limelight.

mizzou is going to score a lot on aTm's awful defense. However, they're going to score a lot on mizzou's defense as well. I still think aTm puts up more points. I wouldn't be shocked to see a 48-44 aTm win.

He also has one of the best receivers in the nation in Evans (mostly due to his questionable physical style more than any true talent, IMO). The Missouri secondary is their weakness and should let Manziel have a much better day than LSU allowed.

I don't think the hype around Manziel is deserved, TBH. He has insane pocket presence and better than average mobility, but a lot of his passes are just either ugly ducks or prayers that get answered by a great receiving corps (same as last year...).

One benefit of the LSU loss is that it gives Manziel even more incentive to show out in Columbia. If he has any hopes of going back to NY then he now has a definite reason to completely go nuts. I don't think A&M can win this game in the end, though, because their Defense is just god awful.

One thing aTm has going for it is that Mizzou isn't a power running team like LSU. Another is that Mizzou's pass defense is terrible.

Hopefully aTm can pull off the win but if Mizzou can run the ball effectively then they'll win

The only two things that make me feel better is Manziel is playing and @Mizzou is nothing like @LSU.
