Texas A&M vs Lamar Prediction

The Lamar Cardinals didn’t play anybody in their season opener and this is a massive step-up in comPetition. We’ll have a better feel of Lamar after this Game. The Texas A&M Aggies rebounded nicely from their opening loss to UCF, which included covering a 31 point spread, and they’ve now covered 8 of their last 10 Games overall. There’s quite a talent gape between these teams and if Texas A&M builds on its last effort this Game shouldn’t be close. Give me the Aggies.
