Theory about the Auburn-A&M series

It’s wild that the home team is 1-8 in this series, Auburn in 2018 being the only home team win.
My theory is that players, coaches, and even fans fall into a false sense of security because they think “we’re at home, we got this”. Meanwhile the away team puts in more focus and work because they feel they have to. Both of our fan bases don’t take this game very seriously compared to say Bama/LSU for example

Since expansion A&M has won in JHS 4 times. Alabama has only won 1 game at JHS in that same period. This is a weird series. Both home environments are hard to play in but it doesn’t seem to matter in this series.

I think it has more to do with inept coaching on both sides.

It’ll be a good game. I think the Vegas line is accurate. It would be a push in Jordan-Hare. A&M’s defense is the best unit on the field for both teams by a considerable margin, but Bo Nix is playing well.

Both teams play solid defense.
Both teams are somewhat hamstrung on offense, but capable of having a big day.
Both teams have pretty good special teams despite Auburn's recent performance with Ole Miss.
I think A&M has an edge with with better overall talent and depth, but Auburn certainly has the edge with a more experienced QB.
Should be a great game.

A&M is new to the SEC. Most of Auburn's rivalries were years in the making or took some "scandal" (Cam Newton/Miss State) to create hate in. They're both land grant schools, both have had to play second fiddle to a big, overpowered state school, both are more interested in the bigger conference fish on their schedule.
It sort of reminds me of how the LSU series felt to me prior to the earthquake game, records not withstanding.
