Texas A&M is averaging 49 points per game, however, that is extremely misleading because it includes a 67-0 win over FCS Prairie View A&M, and an overtime win over UCLA in which the Aggies were leading 24-9 in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Trevor Knight was only 22 of 42 for 239 yards with a touchdown and interception against the Bruins, but the Aggies used a lot of the clock rushing 41 times for 203 yards. The A&M defense held UCLA to just 3.1 yards per carry and forced three turnovers. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn is rumored to be in trouble as opposing teams quickly learned how to defend his innovative offense that carried his team to the National Championship Game in the 2013 season. The Tigers blew out Arkansas State, but were outgained 399-262 in their opening loss against Clemson. Auburn averaged only 2.1 yards per carry and managed only 175 passing yards against Clemson. Sophomore Sean White threw three touchdown passes against Arkansas State, but he was just 10 of 21 for 140 yards and an interception against Clemson when he rotated with Jeremy Johnson. Auburn won last year's meeting with A&M 26-10 with the teams combining for 90 rushing attempts and just 269 passing yards, which made for a perfect UNDER situation. Both teams have improved their rush defenses with A&M allowing 78.5 yards per game this season and Auburn 108.5. Texas A&M is 6-0-1 UNDER its last seven games, and the push was the UCLA overtime game. Auburn has gone UNDER six of its last eight overall, and the Tigers are 8-2-1 UNDER their last 11 home contests. Play the UNDER.
