Texas A&M -5.5 vs. Baylor
The Aggies are looking to bounce back from a beating Oklahoma put on them last week. The Aggies (5-5, 2-4 Big 12) look to become bowl eligible after losing to Colorado and Oklahoma on the road. The Aggies need this win today to become bowl eligible, because Texas comes to town next weekend.
I like the pressure that A&M puts on the ball and it starts with DE Von Miller. The Aggies like to put a lot of pressure on opposing quarterbacks and today against Baylor will be no exception. Miller has 15.5 sacks this season and he needs to get pressure in the backfield or else Baylor will easly be able to pick apart a very sub-par Aggies secondary.
A&M needs better special teams play, due to three muffed kicks last Saturday that resulted in scores for Oklahoma, the special teams cannot afford to make mistakes if they want a chance to win (and cover).
On the offensive side, QB Jerrod Johnson has played well this season. He has thrown for 272 ypg, 22 TD's 5 INT's. 5 receivers have more than 25 catches for the Aggies, so obviously Johnson likes to spread the ball around. Johnson also likes to use his feet to gain yards. He is 3rd on the team in rushing, and leads the team in rushing touchdowns with 7.
Look for Johnson to make plays on offense and Miller to get great penetration on this Baylor offensive line which will lead to a A&M cover.
