3 Bold Predictions for Texas A&M vs Auburn SEC Clash

Bo Nix and No. 8 Auburn may be heading into Kyle Field to take on No. 17 Texas A&M with plenty of momentum, but that doesn't mean that Kellen Mond and the Aggies are going to be a pushover. In one of the most unpredictable game of the Week 4 slate, this one could have upset written all over it.

3. Kellen Mond Gets Sacked Five Times

Nix and JaTarvious Whitlow might get all the hype, but Auburn's defensive line of Derrick Brown, Nick Coe, Marlon Davidson, and Big Kat Bryant is as good as it gets in college football. The Texas A&M offensive line is by no means a standout, which could lead to Mond being forced out of the pocket in order to avoid getting driven into the dirt.

2. The Aggie Defense Forces Four Turnovers

Justin Madubuike leads an Aggie defenses that lost starters like Otaro Alaka and Donovan Wilson to the NFL, but can still be counted on for a turnover or two. For all the hullabaloo about Nix, he is still completing just 52 percent of his passes. That inaccuracy could come back to bite him against Texas A&M, as they love to turn up the heat when a QB gets rattled.

1. Texas A&M Pulls Off the Upset

Mond and running back Isaiah Spiller will make sure that the Aggies can put points on the board, but this game will come down to Nix and how he handles the pressure of Kyle Field. If he holds against Madubuike and that defense, and the pass rush for Auburn fails to get home, then Mond and the Aggies could be on their way towards a humungous SEC upset.
