Texas A&M Aggies vs. South Carolina Gamecocks Preview & Picks (10/22/2022)

Texas A&M prints money. And Aggie fans are passionately faithful. Thus, The Texas A&M Aggies remain a wannabe College Football betting superpower. At the onset, Jimbo Fisher was presented with a national championship trophy in anticipation of the nattys to come. The only problem is that there have been no championships. Texas A&M has won at the same rate as the previous coach Kevin Sumlin. And the big-money boosters are getting frustrated. They read about 5-star recruiting classes each spring. But they watch popgun offenses and mediocre football. Specifically, there is no betting value.
