South Carolina enters College Station, Texas, ready for its final SEC game of the season as they take on a top three Texas A&M squad. Mike Elko's Aggies are undefeated and on their way to one of the best regular season finishes in school history. Meanwhile Shane Beamer takes his team in enemy territory looking for the biggest upset of the season. Can the Gamecocks pull this one off?

South Carolina is in a playoff of their own this weekend. Sitting at 3-6, Shane Beamer's Gamecocks must win their final three games in order to make the bowl season. This game against the Aggies will end one of the toughest stretches in the nation. Entering the week as a healthy football team, South Carolina must find success on both sides of the ball. Will a new playcaller provide that spark?

Texas A&M, on the other hand, has looked the part of a national title contender. While the offense has dealt with injuries, it remains a balanced attack with Marcel Reed at the helm. Play along the lines of scrimmage has been key to helping A&M reach this 9-0 status.

Odds:

The line for this game has settled at 18.5-points per game, according to FanDuel. Odds got as high as 19.5-points for this game in College Station.

Predictions:

Alex Joyce: Texas A&M 38 , South Carolina 16

Styles make fights and this is a bad matchup for the Gamecocks. South Carolina has routinely struggled defensively against mobile quarterbacks in 2025, not to mention being in the bottom third of the SEC in rush defense. Despite having Le'Veon Moss out for a while, Texas A&M has been able to lean on Rueben Owens II and Marcel Reed to hurt defenses in that part of the game. While I still believe LaNorris Sellers is the best player on the field, that may be the only advantage the Gamecocks have in this one. Unfortunately this would end South Carolina's run at a bowl game, but pulling off an upset this big, on the road, with little advantages on paper doesn't seem likely.

Joey Walraven: Texas A&M 35, South Carolina 10

The South Carolina Gamecocks have shown a trend to be in one score games in the second half with ranked teams and just collapse based on the result of their offense. However, I don't think we see this from the Gamecocks in this matchup. Traveling to Kyle Field against arguably the best team in the country does not bode well for them, especially with the Aggies being a high scoring machine. The Gamecocks simply do not have the offense to compete, which leads me to think this one gets ugly early and stays that way for most of the game.
