Georgia Opens as Heavy Favorite over Texas A&M

The Aggies are going to have their work cut out for them this weekend

COLLEGE STATION - Texas A&M has returned to the ranking following a 30-6 victory over South Carolina. The No.24 Aggies proved their worth to the AP voter following another dominant offensive performance at Kyle Field led by an extensive run game. 

Easy come, easy go as the expression stands could be the case this weekend in Athens, Georgia. The Aggies will finish their season on the road with their first stop against the No.4 ranked Bulldogs in Samford Stadium. 

A&M's recent success has made the team a viable threat to contend with opponents. Las Vegas, however, is thinking otherwise at the initial spread. Georgia will open Saturday's matchup as a 14-point favorite over the Aggies with the over/under set at 46 overall. 

The Bulldogs are coming off another close win, defeating Auburn 21-14 in "The Oldest Rivalry in the South" game Saturday evening. As advertised, Georgia has consistently been at the top of the rankings, both in the AP and College Football Standings. With Saturday's victory, the team officially punched their ticket to the SEC Championship game in Atlanta come December. 

There are flaws with Georgia's offense overall. Junior quarterback Jake Fromm has seen his fair share of struggles controlling the turnover ratio, leading to close wins in what were expected to be blowout games. From threw three interceptions in the team's double-overtime loss to South Carolina earlier this season. It would be the only loss for the Bulldogs thus far. 

The Aggies have also been exposed away from Kyle Field, predominately on offense. Of Kellen Mond's six interceptions, four have come on the road with two against SEC opponent Ole Miss. 

Against ranked opponents, the Aggies sit at 0-3 this year. Competitive against then top-ranked Alabama, the team struggled to produce points against Clemson and fell behind against a top 10 Auburn team in September. 

The Aggies will kick off at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 23. The game will be nationally televised on CBS Sports as the SEC Game of the Week.
