Texas A&M Aggies vs. Ole Miss Rebels Game Predictions
The Texas A&M Aggies are entering a must-win matchup against the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday, in what has turned into another tough year in college station.
Should the Aggies lose, their path to bowl eligibility becomes even tougher, and the seat for Jimbo Fisher will get even hotter.
The Rebels, who sit at 7-1 and ranked No. 10 in the College Football Playoff rankings, will not make it easy, however.
With that in mind, here is how the AllAggies.com staff thinks the game will shake out on Saturday:

Ole Miss has not been the most impressive one-loss team this season. But they still find ways to keep winning. The Aggies are equipped to slow down the Rebels offense, but can they muster enough points on the other end to keep pace? I don't think they can, and I think the Rebels win a close one.

Texas A&M’s defense could win a national championship. The offense might not be bowl-eligible-worthy. While Jimbo Fisher’s buyout is larger than the state of Texas, never say never when it comes to change.
Lane Kiffin is undefeated against his rival and loves laying the hammer on another former Nick Saban disciple. This is the last time these two meet on a regular basis. Think Kiffin will show mercy?

The Aggies have quietly been a productive team in recent weeks, and are on track to make it to a bowl game after last year's 5-7 season. A&M took two ranked teams in Tennessee and Alabama to the end before suffering two one-score losses.
Coach Jimbo Fisher and Co. get a chance to finally get that elusive ranked win in Oxford, but the Rebels seem to be rolling and will likely hand the Aggies a result they've been familiar with this season.

Texas A&M has experienced big-time road woes this season, and taking a trip to Oxford to face a top-10 ranked Ole Miss doesn’t exactly scream “there’s a first time for everything.” The Aggies won’t get walked over, and could make it a game down the stretch, but I don’t see them coming away with a win.
