00:00We've got a game kicking off here at noon today.
00:02That's the Miami Hurricanes and the Texas A&M Aggies, Joe.
00:06If we're lining this game up, the favorite, Texas A&M.
00:08It's always been that way.
00:09Still sitting at minus 3.5 at most outlets across the board.
00:13If we look at the total, though, Joe, the 51.5 at the opening numbers,
00:16that's down to around 48.5.
00:18Windy conditions, not necessarily, but the wind is blowing.
00:21You're not going to have any precipitation in the air.
00:23Nice sunny day down there in College Station.
00:25So let's start there, Joe.
00:26The favorites, the movement on the total, what are the options here?
00:29Well, I mean, it's an interesting matchup, right?
00:32Because, again, when you just look at Miami as a whole, right,
00:35can they go into an SEC environment, catching 3.5 points
00:39and not just cover but win the game outright?
00:42They went into SMU as a 6.5-point road favor,
00:45came out with a 26-20 loss in that ballgame, right?
00:49You can't come out flat against Texas A&M.
00:52Now, last three regular season games for A&M, sort of lackluster, right?
00:57They struggled against South Carolina, 18.5-point home favorite.
01:01They were trailing 30-3 in the first half of that matchup.
01:05Win it in dynamic fashion, 31-30.
01:07They beat up on Sanford, 48-zip.
01:10And then they lose their last regular season game on the road in Austin
01:13as a 2.5-point road favorite and get demolished in the second half by Arch Manning.
01:18But they are undefeated at home this year, Donnie.
01:21Against FBS opponents, they have stepped up.
01:23They're 7-0 at home.
01:25They've won the FBS games by an average margin of victory of 14.4 points per game.
01:30Every time this team runs for over 200 yards, they are dominant.
01:35They're 7-0 and have won those games by an average margin of victory
01:38against FBS opponents by 17.7 points per game.
01:42Miami has one of the best rush defenses in the college football playoff,
01:47holding opposing offenses to 86 rushing yards per game, 2.9 yards per carry.
01:52Carson Beck is the X-factor.
01:55He's played in the SEC.
01:56He understands 110,000 fans playing at Georgia and in the SEC championship.
02:02Have the rest of the Miami players bought in.
02:05This is the best in A&M.
02:08Third down defense in college football.
02:1022% they've held opposing offenses.
02:14They give you that effort today.
02:16I think A&M wins.
02:17Turnovers will matter.
02:19You look at Miami, they're plus 10 in turnover margin.
02:21A&M minus 7.
02:24That's a huge cause of concern.
02:26But I'll still go to A&M's rushing attack.
02:29They're averaging $1.97 on the ground.
02:31I think A&M wears them down.
02:33Could be a close game early.
02:34But give me the Aggies.
02:35A&M loses cry.
02:37Could be a close game early.
02:39There's an ice in the genau sun with arage.
02:40There's some first hire on土.
02:41I think A&M wins.
02:42I think A&M would like to be for you to know.
02:42The Col's is going to be a close game.
02:43Here's where everything seems to be.
02:44First, you know, a wish and be for each player.
02:45So is the first game over there.
