Texas A&M Aggies vs. Florida Gators Score Predictions

The Texas A&M Aggies will hit the road in Week 3 to take on the Florida Gators, and both teams are likely in for a tough matchup. Here are Texas A&M On SI's Staff Score predictions.

The Texas A&M Aggies are looking to get their 2024 SEC slate off to the right start on Saturday when they travel to The Swamp to take on the Florida Gators.

Finding a quick start is going to be paramount to evade the impact of the Gators’ home crowd, and slowing down some of their offensive weapons will as well.

For Florida, the most important thing will be winning the second half, as the Aggies will likely be unable to rally without much production in the latter two quarters. However it shakes out, however, both teams should be in for a tough matchup — making for some good football.

Elko's first SEC road test as head coach is a tough one to call as they travel to one of the toughest environments in the country in the Swamp. That said, I think the Gators are a mess. And if the Aggies get off to a good start, it could break Bill Napier's team. I think they do that, and start off their SEC slate 1-0

I believe the Aggies will go through quite a battle in their first road game of the year in Gainesville. Both of these teams have hit the reset button on their programs and are looking to improve on respectively dismal 2023 campaigns.

That being said, I think the A&M defense will be just enough to get them a win against Florida and get back over .500.

Texas A&M beats Florida 31-14. Big day for Weigman who exploits weak Florida secondary.

The Aggies are coming off of what was a penciled-down victory over McNeese State, and shook off some of their Week 1 rust in the process. With a half-healthy Conner Weigman, however, their first road trip of the season won’t be a cakewalk. Texas A&M might not get out to the fast start it's hoping for, but I believe it'll recover and find itself en route to a close win.

Put me down for an Aggies victory.
