Unless the o-line has vastly improved, I don't see us putting up tons of points on the #10 team. I do think our defense can dominate though so I'm expecting a low scoring game, but hoping we can thoroughly whoop their ass
I do not buy ND as a legit top-ten team. It will be hell for their inexperienced offensive line on Saturday.


That defense is stacked. They are a top 10 team

He thinks ND will win 24-9. All I can say is at least he's a consistent hater. I personally think he took too many sacks back in the day, but I thought I throw this out there.

Joel Klatt is a dumbass. He fits in well with the other "sports" experts on the Ticket. I still have hope for Bob because he actually watches film, but the rest of them are morons.

So Joel either thinks we score 3 FGs or miss an XP. Okay. I'll take the over on Klatt's prediction.

Might hate it but I get it. He isnt going to change his tune, nor would I, until Texas A&M football demonstrates that can produce a solid offense that can consistently put up 30+ points.

Maybe in 2 years, we will all love him. Thats my hope.
Predicting A&M to disappoint is a pretty safe bet except this century minus 2012/2020. Guy isn't dumb for hitching his wagon to a routinely falling star.

Went back and looked at Vegas lines since A&M joined the SEC. Not counting 2020 (I couldn't find a good record of win totals) A&M has beaten the win total only 4 times in 11 years but has missed it by a half game 3 times. Each of those times it was juiced toward the under. A&M has averaged being under by only 0.2 wins per year. Put another way over 11 years A&M is 2.5 games under the Vegas line in total. So Vegas has had A&M pegged fairly well since 2012.

For comparison I looked at Texas and Notre Dame.

Texas has only beaten the Vegas line twice from what I can tell and has averaged being 1.2 games short of the average Vegas line, a full 13 wins under. They have significantly underperformed expectations.

Notre Dame on the other hand has beaten the Vegas odds 6 times in the past 11 seasons and averages just 0.1 wins over the Vegas line, or 1.5 wins in total, so similar to A&M it's fairly well pegged.

I think I was referring more to fan/media expectations than Vegas.
Ever since the 05 Holiday Bowl, I've been convinced Vegas can fix college football, so they tend to be pretty spot on.

Love the Joel Klatt segment on The Ticket
Great weekly segment. I don't agree with all his takes, but he is consistently knowledgeable and entertaining.


Joel Klatt, JoelKlatt.

We will see soon enough...their most impressive result from last year was a close loss to an Ohio State team that had the worst QB play it has had in what, over a decade?

Even if we thump them, they probably end the year in the top ten by virtue of their charmin soft schedule, get into the playoff, and do what they do in every big time post season game (lose by three scores or more).

9 points - it'll be 3 safeties and a field goal.

How could you say that about Corbi.

I actually think he has the score right, but the sides wrong.

I don't see their o-line being able to contain our pass rush, and if Colin Klein has only improved our offensive production by 15 to 20% we should be able to move the ball well.

The big question mark for me is our secondary's ability to limit the big plays on the off chance that their QB gets any time in the pocket.

Call me a homer, but this is my objective opinion.

Sometimes the jokes write themselves

We have so many koolaide drinkers it's comical

Klatt predicts 24-9 ND win and honestly that predication looks very accurate right now

But he is a "hater" for predicting the mighty Ags to only score 9… everyone dumps on him … saying what an idiot he is … and he was dead accurate lol

IMHO people, some A&M fans included, are forgetting how good Conner Weigman is. I will be shocked if we don't score 20+ on offense vs. ND.
How we doing this morning, Champ?
