McMurphy posted it, but I don't believe he is the one who set that line.

The number was a huge shock to me when I saw it.
I don't follow A&M closely enough to know what is returning.
I know their recruiting class was highly ranked.
Whoever set that line must have a ton of faith in our returning defensive players.
The only way that number is remotely close is if a totally different Kellen Mond shows up to the game compared to last year.

Possibly but we have seen the '16 offense struggle out of the gate.
I guess I am just taking a wait and see approach instead of assuming we will start where we left off.

He also lists his Top 5, Power 5 non-conference matchups and every one involves an $EC team. Go figure.

closer to 17 point favorites. It's possible Vegas will favor us by a little more than that, but 20.5 seems like a lot of points.

A&m lost as much if not more on their defense than we did, plus their top RB left as well. Not sure why they are ranked 9th. Wait. $ec.

Can their oline still tackle defenders without penalty?
Huge aspect of the game in my opinion.

1 and 9 is huge right now in CFB. Last year 9-12 in the final coaches and AP polls were Texas, Wazzou, UCF, and Kentucky. We would've murdered any of those teams.

overrated team in the country next year.. probably by a wide margin. They lost a ton off of a wildly inconsistent 2018 team and they seem destined to be ranked pretty highly in the top 10 next year while most computer projections seem them in the 25-35 range.

They also lost to Maryland and OK State, and nearly lost to both Baylor and K State. They only beat Tulsa, Texas Tech, and Kansas by 7 each. Tom Herman is apparently only capable of coaching well in big games and his teams stink against everyone else.

FPI has us as 16 point fav and S&P as 14 point fav.
I think 20 is a tad too high but could definitely see it at 17-18.

believe the standard 3 points is enough for certain home field advantages in CFB - including our own DV.

absolutely no path for them to make the playoff with that schedule. They play @ Clemson, Alabama, @ Georgia, and @ LSU, along with some other moderately difficult games (Abuurn, Miss. State, South Carolina).
