00:00
Texas A&M, 14th in the country, off since the dominant win at home against Missouri.
00:09
Kev, you have made this point about this A&M team, only 14th in the AP Top 25, but 10th
00:15
best price to win a national championship at 40-1 right now on those odds book.
00:21
How do you feel about A&M in this matchup, laying 19 and a half against a Mississippi
00:26
State team that has been a hefty underdog in every SEC game?
00:29
I was actually a little excited to lay this with A&M.
00:32
I've been kind of trying to find the appropriate spot to bet against Mississippi State.
00:36
Because of that Toledo loss, we saw their numbers kind of shoot up the sky, and boom,
00:41
they cover against Texas.
00:42
I'm like, all right, well, maybe now we're going to get some value with Georgia.
00:44
Probably a little too much, pull back, and they cover that game as well.
00:49
But now I look at it here, now I wonder if the books are still baking in the Toledo performance
00:54
too much.
00:55
Elko's off of a bye, 2-0 against the number in the first half in his two seasons at Duke,
01:00
so maybe we could see A&M early.
01:03
But the other angle of this is Michael Van Buren, the freshman QB for the Bulldogs, might
01:09
have some juice here.
01:11
If I'm on this game, I would look towards maybe a first half over Joe, but I couldn't
01:17
find enough value to bet it confidently.
01:19
Yeah, here's the thing.
01:20
I mean, if you're looking last year, they got hammered.
01:23
Texas A&M beat them 51-10.
01:25
They're a different team, obviously, from last year than this year.
01:28
Front seven for Mississippi State, giving up 201 rushing yards per game.
01:32
But in back-to-back games against Texas and Georgia, under 200 yards.
01:36
So that shows me that Jeff Lebby, all right, they're not winning games, but they're starting
01:40
to progress, starting to understand the scheme from a defensive perspective.
01:45
Maybe they are slowly getting better.
01:47
I'm not suggesting that they win as an 18-and-a-half point dog, but I'll be inclined to take the
01:52
points in Starkville just because it's a very difficult place to play in.
01:56
I keep going back to Trevor Knight in 2016 when A&M went in there.
02:00
They were ranked fourth in the college football playoff, and they lost outright by Rodgers
02:06
and the crew.
02:07
They got smashed.
