New Mexico State vs. Texas A&M Prediction

I’m leaning New Mexico State here. The obvious statement is that Texas A&M is the far better team by a mile. However, what does this Game mean to Texas A&M? who control their own path to the SEC title Game and has a road Game against Auburn and a home Game against Texas in the next two weeks. I could see A&M keeping this Gameplan very vanilla and just play to get in and get out with a win and not get hurt. Give me New Mexico State and the boatload of points.
