TOM STRYKER’S FREE FOOTBALL SELECTION SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19TH
#405 TEXAS A&M (-19′) over Mississippi St at 4:15 PM EST
Since losing its opener at home to Notre Dame, Texas A&M has gone on a tear ripping off five consecutive straight up wins by the combined score of 173-77. Expect another beating here when the Aggies travel to Starkville to battle a Bulldogs bunch that holds a rough 1-5 SU record this year.
Even though Texas A&M won last season’s meeting by the final of 51-10, the Aggies 6-7 SU and 5-8 ATS mark in the last 13 battles will keep them focused on the task at hand. There is a solid team situation that backs the visitors in this SEC matchup as well. When priced as a double-digit favorite and taking the field with steam off a straight up win, Texas A&M holds a respectable 20-11 ATS mark provided its opponent arrives off two or more straight up losses. As long as the Aggies are tackling a foe that is not off a blowout loss of 29 points or more, this angle improves to a rewarding 18-7 ATS.
Currently on a dismal 10-15 SU and 6-16 ATS run in its last 25 games, Mississippi State is having all kinds of problems on the football field right now. In this run playing in the comforts of home, the Bulldogs fall to filthy 7-7 SU and 1-10 ATS. Additionally, since 2018, SEC home dogs priced at +10 or more in conference play hold a feeble 12-63 SU and 34-40-1 ATS mark including a rough 9-41 SU and 19-30-1 ATS if the pointspread falls between +10 and +21 points, respectively. Finally, at home arriving without rest and off a straight up loss, MSU owns a horrible 30-53-1 ATS tally including a ridiculous 10-25 ATS if they are grabbing +3 or more.
First-year head coach Mike Elko has the Aggies firing on all cylinders right now and, with the Bayou Bengals on deck, A&M will make sure they take care of business here. Take Texas A&M. Thanks and best of luck, Tom.
