Lets put some stats to those numbers.
Total D: A&M - 28th; Aub - 52nd
Rush D: A&M - 38th; Aub - 36th (less than 1 yard per game difference)
Pass D: A&M - 31st; Aub - 69th
Socring D: A&M - 4th; Aub - 23rd
SP+ DEF: A&M - 7th; Aub - 16th
Neither Auburn or A&M is all that good offensively. So, yeah, A&M's defense is the "best unit".
Total D: A&M - 28th; Aub - 52nd

Let’s just compare the offensive stats too for fun:
Total O: Aub - 28th; A&M - 70th
Rush O: Aub - 41st; A&M - 47th
Pass O: Aub - 52nd; A&M - 94th
Scoring O: Aub - 25th; A&M - 59th
FEI Off: Aub - 18th; A&M - 50th
“Neither Auburn or A&M is all that good offensively.” Looking at these stats, it appears that you are trying to group Auburn’s offense in with A&M’s and the stats just don’t back that up. Much bigger gaps between the Auburn and A&M offense, than the A&M and Auburn defense.

Meh. The stats are pretty misleading for both teams as both teams are playing much better right now than they were earlier in the season. If Colorado/Arkie/State Calzada and OLine shows up A&M is screwed, if the Bama version shows up A&M wins comfortably. Auburn racked up some gaudy stats in the Akron and Alabama State games as well which is all well and good but don't really mean much.
Auburn is very good all around. Nix is a dangerous and experienced QB that scares me. The D is physical and talented.
I don't think the weird road game phenomenon means much, just a strange coincidence. I know that I sure as hell would rather play this game at Kyle and JH and I think the biggest edge A&M has besides that is they are coming off a much needed bye week while Auburn had to play a tough game against Ole Miss.
Going to be a great game either way.
