It’s likely the final meeting for years between Texas A&M and Texas Tech on Saturday with the Aggies headed to the SEC next year. And No. 24 A&M will have no chance to win the Big 12 title in its final season in that conference if it loses to the Red Raiders. The Aggies have opened as 9.5-point favorites on Bodog’s NCAA football odds.

Texas Tech (4-0, 1-0 Big 12) has yet to lose but also has played an incredibly weak schedule so far. And in wins the past two weeks over Nevada and Kansas, the Red Raiders had to rally. As usual, the Red Raiders are pass-happy, led by QB Seth Doege. He had a typical game last week against the Jayhawks, throwing for 366 yards and three touchdowns. The Red Raiders are fourth in the nation in scoring (47.3 ppg) and ninth in passing (345.5 ypg). But, again, consider the schedule. However, A&M is giving up an FBS-worst 336.8 passing yards per game.

Texas A&M (2-2, 0-1 Big 12) could well be unbeaten but has blown big leads the past two games to Oklahoma State and Arkansas — the Aggies have been outscored 59-35 in the second half in back-to-back losses after holding double-digit leads at halftime in each. This would be a Top 5 team if it had just held those leads. Look for an emphasis on the ground game today for A&M behind Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael, one of the nation’s top duos. The Aggies rank No. 15 in the nation in rushing at more than 223 yards per game and TTU ranks No. 117 in rush defense.

The Aggies have won the past two meetings in this series, including 45-27 last year behind QB Ryan Tannehill’s school-record 449 yards passing and four TDs in his first career start. A&M had 623 yards of offense.
