00:00Here's our only ranked versus ranked matchup and it's nearly 45 minutes into college football

00:08today.

00:09Not saying our production programming is necessarily what an expectation could be for the magnitude

00:15of a game, but I think it does speak volumes that it's a little bit deeper down in the

00:20show.

00:21A&M, two and a half point home favorite in College Station against Missouri.

00:26We've got the team that has the lower rating ranking that is the home favorite, so don't

00:31call it an upset if A&M does win at Kyle Field today.

00:34Yeah, I mean, as far as the ranked ranked nature, the placement of the game, I mean,

00:41I've never felt more justified in anything in my life than my confusion as to the way

00:46people talk about Missouri because Missouri now for the second time this year is playing

00:51a ranked ranked game that nobody could care less about.

00:54And this time it's an SEC game, like the first time it was Boston College.

00:57I think they played that game on the CW, maybe.

00:59I mean, legit, come on now, this game, look, Missouri this season has done nothing.

01:08I mean, absolutely nothing.

01:10The only noteworthy thing they've done is deserve to lose a football game to Vanderbilt.

01:16Most likely Texas A&M is kind of in the same boat.

01:20You brought Notre Dame into your building again.

01:23That bizarre season they're having, are they good?

01:26Are they great?

01:27Are they terrible?

01:28I don't know.

01:29And everything following that has been a big bag of blech.

01:33So I look at this game, it's a really tough one to cap.

01:36Honestly, it's probably not on the card, Joe, if it's not ranked ranked in one of the big

01:40games.

01:41I get to a Mizzou team total, though, with them off the by needing to respond after that

01:46Vanderbilt game and willingly fading the Elko defense here that I don't think's found a

01:52rhythm just yet.

01:54Under this regime, I think it's the toughest offensive played thus far.

01:58I took Missouri team total over 23 and a half.

02:01If Missouri was at home, I would give the edge to the Tigers.

02:05The fact even though they're coming out of a bye week, they played down to the level

02:09of competition this year, struggle with Boston College and Castellanos, he didn't have a

02:13great game and they were in that game in the second half and obviously against Vanderbilt,

02:18the overtime win with the kid missing the field goal.

02:22However, the way Texas A&M from a defensive perspective, especially in the second half

02:26against Talon Green and Jaquindon Jackson shut down that offense, I think it'll carry

02:32in regards to this matchup.

02:33The fact that it's under a field goal, the 110,000 fans, Marcel Reed, his athleticism

02:39and the fact that, you know, the secondary for Texas A&M right now, holding opposing

02:43offenses to 57% completion percentage, seven interceptions forced.

02:49I like that at home.

02:50If they were on the road with the freshmen, I'd say no way, I can't back it.

02:54The fact that they're at home with Elko and even though they didn't play that great against

02:58Notre Dame, you still got to give them props from a defensive perspective.

03:03They've been in every game.

03:05Offense potentially can score here.

03:06I like the over and I like A&M.
