Las Vegas Oddsmakers Give Aggies Reason For Optimism In 2024

If the oddsmakers are to be believed, the Texas A&M Aggies' 2024 season promises to be an exciting one.

Although the AP poll won't be out until August, it's never too early to consider the top 25 teams for the 2024 college football season. Preseason win totals from FanDuel provide insight into which teams Vegas believes are poised for success. 

The usual suspects dominate the list, with no real surprises in who the oddsmakers expect to perform well.

Currently, no team is projected to win more than 10.5 games. Teams winning 10.5 include the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks and the new addition to the SEC the Texas Longhorns. With the dawn of conference realignment and the introduction of the 12-team College Football Playoff, a new era of excitement awaits the sport. If the top teams can meet expectations, they'll be competing for the national championship in December and January.

FanDuel anticipates the Texas A&M Aggies to secure 8.5 wins in the upcoming season, under the helm of new head coach Mike Elko. Texas A&M has already showcased its recruiting prowess with the recent signings of the Aggies' three remaining targets, including highly-touted 2024 5-star athlete Terry Bussey. 

This recruiting success highlights Elko's ability to attract top talent to College Station, setting a promising foundation for the team's future. Additionally, the addition of 22 incoming transfers further strengthens Texas A&M's roster depth and competitiveness, providing Coach Elko with a diverse array of talent to mold into a formidable squad.

With these significant acquisitions, the Aggies enter the 2024 season with renewed optimism and high expectations. FanDuel's projection of 8.5 wins for Texas A&M reflects the growing confidence in the team's potential to achieve success under Elko's leadership.

As anticipation mounts for the upcoming season, Aggies fans eagerly anticipate the possibility of witnessing their team secure its first nine, or even ten-win campaign, signaling a new era of competitiveness and success for Texas A&M football.

There's plenty of wiggle room for win totals between now and late August. Spring practice is yet to occur, and another NCAA transfer portal window remains open. With rosters not entirely set, a surprise or two is likely to emerge before the summer arrives.
