Texas A&M returns with a stacked offense as quarterback Kellen Mond is back and three of the top four receivers from last season. Texas State replaced its head coach and is implementing a new system on both sides of the line. The Bobcats likely will have a new quarterback and an offensive line that lacks experience. The spread is big, but look for the Aggies to pour it on early and often. Final Score Prediction, Texas A&M Aggies win and cover ATS 54-10
