Aggies vs Hurricanes

Texas A&M is a 4.5-point favorite on Saturday afternoon with the OVER/UNDER set at 51.5 points. The Aggies won 11 consecutive games to start the year - the most victories they've had since Johnny Manziel’s Heisman Trophy-winning season in 2012. However, Mike Elko's team finished the season with a devastating 27-17 loss to the rival Longhorns that knocked them out of the SEC Championship Game.

Meanwhile, the 10-2 Hurricanes were an 11th hour addition to the 12-team CFP bracket with the selection committee citing Miami's head-to-head win over Notre Dame.

Quarterback battle

Marcel Reed passed for 2,932 yards, 25 TDs and 10 INTs for the Aggies this season while adding 466 yards on the ground. The dynamic playmaker is a big-play machine, but often struggled in scoring position with Texas A&M ranking 77th in red zone scoring nationally.

Carson Beck threw for 3,072 yards, 25 TDs and 10 INTs with a 74.5 completion percentage. But, the Hurricanes signal caller struggled mightily in each of Miami's losses, tossing two TDs and six picks. The former Bulldog was also famous for his crucial turnovers at Georgia in 2024.

Players to watch

Miami averaged 38 PPG in their last four games largely thanks to freshman receiver Malachi Toney, who racked up 84 receptions for 970 yards this year.

Texas A&M's star running back Le’Veon Moss could return from an injury that's kept him out since mid-October. With backup Rueben Owens II managing just 76 yards combined in his last two games, the Aggies certainly could use a boost in the running game.

While both defenses rank top 20 in the nation, the Hurricanes are nasty against the run, allowing just 86.8 rushing yards per game. If Carson Beck can limit his turnovers (a big if), we like Miami to cover (+4.5) and win outright (+160) at Kyle Field with the UNDER 51.5.
