Texas A&M is well-rested and ready to close out the season strong, beginning with the No. 19 Missouri Tigers on Saturday afternoon. The Aggies are in a strong position to make the College Football Playoff, but the SEC title game remains wide open. With several teams having only one loss, A&M must win two of its next three SEC contests to stay in the hunt.

This season, the Aggies have been checking off all the milestones that have eluded them in the past. This weekend marks the beginning of the dark days of A&M football—November. They were at this same point last year with seven wins and in the driver’s seat to reach the CFP and SEC title game, but it all unraveled, going 1-3 and finishing with the dreaded 8-4 record.

However, they appear more prepared this season and have demonstrated the ability to make proper in-game adjustments, something that has been lacking in previous teams. A&M is also a veteran squad playing with a chip on its shoulder and features several NFL-caliber players in the trenches. That’s where I believe this game will be decided.

Both teams love to run the ball, and both boast solid defensive ends who can pressure the quarterback. Also, like clockwork, while Texas A&M is favored to win, they are once again on upset watch. So, while A&M is receiving a lot of national attention, they still have their skeptics, and they need to get past the Tigers to silence them for another week.

Here’s who the experts are picking to win this week’s showdown:

Texas A&M truly controls its destiny, and a win against Missouri will strengthen its résumé.
