Media Will Call: Texas A&M vs. Clemson around the country predictions
COLLEGE STATION- The No.12 Texas A&M Aggies will take on the No.1 Clemson in a rematch of one college football's best games from last season. With late quarter heroics, Jimbo Fisher's squad gave the defending national champions a run for their money, falling just short in a 28-26 outcome.
Expectations are high for another close match. Despite the Tigers being a 17.5-point favorite, A&M's offense could be just as dynamic as Dabo Swinney's unit. But facing off against Heisman favorite Trevor Lawrence and elite running Travis Etienne is a tough pill to swallow.
No matter the outcome, most media moguls believe the Aggies will beat the spread. It should be a close game and A&M will impress the country whether they win or lose. But there's a reason Clemson is the top-ranked team in the country. Most media members would agree.
A majority of picks around the country have the Aggies falling short. How short? Let's check around the area and see what the final scores are projected to be.
