The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodbullhunting.com\/authors\/39137\/postgame-thoughts-texas-am-blanks-samford-48-0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">48-0 win<\/a> marked the first defensive shutout for Texas A&amp;M since 2022. Next up for the Aggies is a trip to Austin to close out the regular season against the Longhorns. Per <a href=\"https:\/\/sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaaf\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel<\/a>, the Aggies are 2.5-point favorites on the road against Texas. The over \/ under for this one is set at 51.5.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Texas A&amp;M has a lot to play for on Black Friday against the Horns. With a win, Texas A&amp;M would be guaranteed a spot in the SEC Championship in Atlanta. A win would also likely do a lot to help the Aggies secure a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff. For the Horns, a win over Texas A&amp;M would help to salvage a season that didn\u2019t quite live up to expectations. Texas comes into this contest with three losses and is likely out of Playoff contention without a ton of chaos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You can always throw out the stats when rivalry week rolls around. I\u2019m expecting an absolute war come Friday in Austin. Kickoff will be at 6:30 p.m. Friday on ABC. One last contest left in the 2025 regular season. One last chance to secure an undefeated regular season. The chance to go on the road and beat a rival to secure a spot in the SEC Championship. These are the moments fans live for.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Let\u2019s see if Texas A&amp;M can get it done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected against Samford, the Aggies took care of business.
