#8 Auburn at #17 Texas A&M — 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS at Kyle Field, College Station, Texas

Line: TA&M -3.5

The Tigers (3-0) and Aggies (2-1) both face incredibly difficult schedules. For Auburn, this game is a chance to show that they are the main threat to Alabama in the SEC West, while Texas A&M will need a win in this game to stay alive in the College Football Playoff picture.

Freshman QB Bo Nix of Auburn has shown his ability at quarterback, but the Aggies have a tough defense that limited the Clemson Tigers to 24 points. Led by linebacker Buddy Johnson (14 tackles) and Antony Hines III (11 tackles) Texas A&M also takes advantage of being at home and uses “must-win” as their main motivator putting Auburn in a season-long must-win situation.

Texas A&M 34, Auburn 28
