Mississippi State vs Texas A&M

It’s going to be an interesting game at Kyle Field on Saturday night. Kyle Allen and Dak Prescott will look to lead their respective teams to an always important SEC battle. 

The Texas A&M Aggies had a scare last weekend when they needed a late rally and overtime to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks to remain undefeated. Kyle Allen had another sensational game as he looks great through the first four games of the year for the Aggies and he’ll see the best quarterback in the SEC on the other sideline on Saturday with Dak Prescott and the Mississippi State Bulldogs coming to Kyle Field for a SEC West showdown.

Keys to Victory

If Texas A&M wishes to get a win against Mississippi State, then the Aggies will need Myles Garrett to have an impactful day off of the edge of their defensive line. Additionally, quarterback Kyle Allen and halfback Tra Carson will both need to help the Aggies convert on third down at a high percentage. If the Aggies can control the line of scrimmage and the game clock and convert on important downs, look for the Aggies to pick up their 5th game of the year.

If Mississippi State wishes to get a victory against their fellow SEC team, then the Bulldogs will need to play a physical game. The Bulldogs first priority needs to be shutting down the Aggies deep receiving core, and ensuring that they keep the ball in front of them. Additionally, the Bulldogs need to pressure sophomore quarterback, Kyle Allen, early and frequently.

Betting Odds

Point Spread: -7 TAMU

Moneyline: MSST: +235 TA&M: -280

O/U: 61.5

Prediction

Texas A&M is going to play a game where they let their physical defense shine. Last week, the Aggies had a wake up call against Arkansas. This week, the team with the superior total talent is going to win the game. Lastly, while the Mississippi State offense is good, it has nowhere near the weapons that the TAMU offense does, which as a result will be one of the reasons why Mississippi will fail to get the win.
Final Score: Mississippi State: 31, Texas A&M: 38
