There are a lot of teams that Texas A&M could be facing that could bring their "A" game out. But Duke is certainly not one of them. Johnny Manziel has a tendency to lavish in the limelight, and not the spotlight when no one is paying attention. The A&M defense gives as much as the offense produces, and Duke can score with A&M because of that. Texas A&M gets a lot of fanfare because of Johnny Football, but the reality is this is not nearly as good of a team as they had a year ago. Their last 10 games shows four losses, and three wins by 3, 10 and 12 points, and they have given up 30+ on seven different occasions this year. This leads me to believe that Duke will be around here at the end. The Blue Devils are getting no respect as a 10 win team because they are Duke, and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight, failing like everyone else vs. Florida State. The Aggies, just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 at a neutral site, will be relative no-shows here. Take Duke plus the points.
