The regular season is winding down, but there is still plenty of football left to be played, and the SEC will likely come down to the final week to determine who will compete for the conference title. The biggest game of the weekend might be Texas A&M vs. LSU, which carries significant implications for both teams and postseason seeding.
A win on Saturday night would mean a great deal for the Aggie program and could shift the narrative significantly. Texas A&M has found ways to win all season long, whether through a high-powered offense or a suffocating defense. This is a pivotal season for A&M, and with five games remaining, they need to win at least three of them to maintain a strong chance of making the College Football Playoff.

A&M enters the game as the favorite, but many view this matchup as a toss-up—especially if LSU’s defense can contain the Aggie running game. Another factor both teams will have to contend with is the weather. Rain and thunderstorms are forecasted for game day, which could lead to less-than-ideal playing conditions.
Historically, LSU has had the upper hand, but if A&M performs close to its full potential, it could disrupt the status quo.
Here’s who the experts are picking to win this week’s showdown:
Both teams still have plenty to prove, and Saturday night is a step closer to making a postseason run.
