After an underwhelming college Football Leist in week 2, week 3 offers a steady diet of huge matchups. It contains a Primetime confrontation between the Texas A&M Aggies and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Here are my best bets for the Saturday evening game.
Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame Best Bet #1: Texas A&M +6.5 (-110)
Notre Dame went all the way to the championship match of the Football Playoff championship match last season, but it must be said that the Fighting Irish benefited from a favorable draw. As soon as they finally met a particularly formidable enemy in the state of Ohio, they were immediately blown out. Fast forward to this season and the team of head coach Marcus Freeman did not start well. Notre Dame opened in Miami two weeks ago and lost 27-24. The visitors committed two turnover and their ground game led by Jeremiyah Love was limited to less than 100 meters and less than 3.5 meters per attempt.
Texas A&M lost to Notre Dame last year, but things can be different with Marcel Reed Under Center. The violation of the aggies is also not only reeds. The Achterveld is stacked with Le’veon Moss and Rueben Owens, Plus Reed has a few transfers at a broad receiver to throw the ball to KC Concepcion and Mario Craver. It is not surprising that the aggies are on their way to a 2-0 start-side against a somewhat matte competition.
The aggies contain an above -average offensive line in 2024 according to Pro Football Focus and all five starters returned. If Reed is protected and a hole is opened for the RBS, this attack can cause serious damage.
An outright victory can be asked too much on the road, but Texas A&M should be able to cover at least.
Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame Best Player Prop Bet: Le’Veon Moss More than 50.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
The Run defense of Notre Dame was solid but unpectacular against Miami. The hurricanes ended with 119 yards on the ground, which inspires some optimism for the opportunities of Texas A&M. Moss and Owens have received the same number of attempts this year this year (13 and 12) this year, but keep in mind that Moss received 121 for Owens ’16 last season. Moreover, Moss was on average 6.3 yards per attempt to Owens’ 4.1. Now that the level of competition is increasing, the aggies will probably rely on their much more experienced – and to be honest better – decline. Search for moss to capitalize.
