The Oklahoma St. Cowboys host the Texas AM Aggies tonight on ESPN at 7:45 EDT. This is expected to be a high scoring Big 12 affair, so it's absolutely must see TV. Both teams come into tonight undefeated, so the team that comes out of this game victorious is likely to be ranked next week. The Cowboys are 3.5 home favorites tonight, with a total of 68 points expected.

With a win tonight, it's quite likely that Oklahoma St. will find themselves in the national rankings. The Cowboys are a perfect 3-0 SU this year, with all 3 games coming at home. Oklahoma St. has played to the over in each game this season, with much credit going to their offense. The Cowboys offense is averaging 57 PPG this season, 2nd most in the nation. QB Brandon Weeden has thrown for 975 YDS this season, including 11 TD's. WR Justin Blackmon has been the recipient of 8 of those TD's, at least 2 in each game this season. Showing how well rounded this Cowboys offense has been this year is the play of RB Kendall Hunter. Despite all the gaudy passing numbers, Hunter has rushed for 473 YDS with 6 TD's this year. For Oklahoma St. to become a force on the national stage, they will have to improve defensively. The Cowboys allow 27.7 PPG this year, placing them in the bottom third in the nation. The Cowboys nearly lost at home to Troy this year, as they gave up 38 PTS.

The Cowboys are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a home favorite. The Over is 13-4 in their last 17 home games against a team with a winning road record.

Texas AM has been waiting for this game for quite some time. The Aggies have revenge on their minds, after losing at home last season 31-36 to Oklahoma St. in a very memorable game. Texas AM rolls into tonight's contest undefeated at 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS. The Aggies are a very talented team in their own right, as they've been a double digit favorite in each game they've played this season. Tonight will represent the 1st road game of the year, and it will come in a hostile environment. The Aggies have a prolific offense in their own right, as they have the 12th best scoring offense in the nation at 41 PPG. QB Jerrod Johnson is easily one of the most dynamic QB's in the nation, and he is the clear leader of this team. Johnson has thrown for 865 YDS and 7 TD's this season, and is expected to challenge for Offensive Player of the Year in the Big 12. Johnson is coming off a terrible game against FIU, where he threw 4 INT's. Defensively, the Aggies have only

allowed 14.3 PPG this season. FIU was the only team to score more than 16 PTS against the Aggies. Texas AM will have to have an inspired defensive effort if they are to exact their revenge in a hostile environment.  

The Aggies are 9-24-1 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog. The Over is 20-6-1 in their last 27 games as a road underdog.

Pregame.com projects the final score to be 34-31 in favor of the Texas AM Aggies. The Aggies +3.5 is the Side of the Day!
