Their first game is a Thursday night affair in Shreveport, against a criminally under rated Louisiana Tech team. This LA Tech team is the real deal, should have beat TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl last year, returns pretty much everyone from that team.
Meanwhile A&M like I said, still breaking in new parts, and are more concerned with establishing themselves in the SEC than dealing with a paltry WAC team, so A&M is more focused on Florida the next week than Louisiana Tech, I think A&M is in for a real surprise, Louisiana Tech won't be the pushover or tune up they are thinking they will get.
It is at a neutral site and the crowd should be slightly partisan toward A&M, but Louisiana Tech is going to be more fired up than A&M, since Louisiana Tech is a shoe in to win the WAC so they have bigger fish to fry, while A&M like I said is more focused on the SEC.
A&M still won't play defense, and LA Tech's offense is good enough to make them pay.
Lousiana Tech will cover here, and perhaps win outright.
A&M is not a good team, they sucked last year, they will suck this year.
As far as the Wyoming/Texas game, under should be good, Wyoming's offense won't be able to move the ball against Texas, though Brett Smith Wyoming QB is pretty good, but Wyoming doesn't have the talent at the skill positions. On the other side of the ball, Texas has no offense either, both of the QBs they will use suck, so its going to be a low scoring ugly affair, along the lines of 24-7 Texas win. I like Wyoming to cover here, +29.5 is a steal, its one of the easiest picks of Week 1, no way will Texas score enough to cover. Texas will just run the ball all game, ball control, run the clock, not light up the scoreboard.
