Texas A&M is entering this game with a 1-0 record overall and they have a 0-0 record in their conference games too. They are 1-0 in their home games, 0-0 in their road games, and they are also 0-0 in their neutral site games this season, but they will be at home for this game.

The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 14.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona State has a 1-0 record overall this season after destroying a team from the FCS in week 1. They put up 70 points in that game while only giving up 7 points and even though they were playing a much weaker opponent, that is still really impressive to do. Meanwhile, Texas A&M also has a 1-0 record overall and they looked great in their season opener too. Texas A&M beat Missouri State 50-0 and Missouri State is a team from the FBS, but they are only in their 2nd FBS season. Their defense looked a lot better in that 1st game, but they weren't really challenged much by that Missouri State offense. Texas A&M had a great season last year, but they also got by with one of the weakest schedules in the SEC. This game is going to be their first test of the season against a good offense and their defense was a big issue for them last year. They gave up a ton of points in their games against stronger offenses and it led to them getting into a lot of shootouts all year. Arizona State doesn't have the talent that Texas A&M has, but they did win the Big 12 Conference just 2 years ago and almost beat a really good SEC team in Texas in the CFP. Arizona State has the talent on offense to put up points here and make this a respectable game. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.
