There is always talk about which conference is the toughest to navigate in college football, but it’s tough to come up with a definitive answer. Teams rise and fall over the course of time, making a once tough conference not quite so strong, like what is currently happening in the PAC 12. The Big Ten always has a number of good teams in there, but it’s arguably the SEC that always seems to be the best in college football. It’s not just because of Alabama and their dominance, though, as you also have the likes of Georgia, Florida, Auburn, and LSU looking to compete.
While that’s all great for fans who follow the SEC, it does make things a good deal tougher for the smaller schools looking to break out in the conference. Texas A&M and the Ole Miss Rebels would fall into that category, as they look to be a good way off the pace being set by the big dogs. These two will hook up in Oxford on Saturday night, with the Texas A&M Aggies in as a 6-point favorite. The point total for this one has been set at 55 ½.

Why bet on the Texas A&M Aggies?
It would be easy to look at the 3-3 record of the Texas A&M Aggies and declare that they have taken a backward step this season, but you really need to look a little closer. The 3 losses that they have taken this season have come against Clemson, Auburn, and Alabama. There are very few teams in the country who could play those teams and come away with anything other than an 0-3 record.
With the toughest part of their schedule out of the way, the Aggies will be looking to finish the season strong, just as they did last season. In their last 10 games, Texas A&M are 7-3 SU, but the road has not been kind to them, as they are 1-5 SU in their last 6 away from home. They are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games versus the SEC.

Why bet on the Ole Miss Rebels?
For the Ole Miss Rebels, the remainder of the season is all about getting the 3 wins they need to secure themselves a bowl game. They come into this one sitting at 3-4 on the season, with 3 of those losses coming in the last 4 games. The Rebels are 2-2 SU in conference play and already well out of the race for the SEC West.
It has been a rough go of things for the Rebels in the last few seasons, and they are now just 3-9 SU in their last 12 games overall. While they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games versus conference opponents, they are still just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games overall.
