It’s a fork in the road for two SEC teams as my Auburn vs. Texas A&M prediction explores which side will maintain its status as a legitimate contender in the conference.

My college football picks target the Aggies' offense against an Auburn defense that's been generous to quality opposing quarterbacks.

With that in mind, our college football predictions for Week 5 feature a Marcel Reed passing prop the opposing quarterback has achieved in both of Auburn’s power conference games this season.

Auburn vs. Texas A&M kicks off from Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Texas A&M is a 6.5-point betting favorite.

🤠Texas A&M -6.5 (-105) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Texas A&M’s offense showed another gear in a thrilling Week 3 win over Notre Dame. The Aggies had already scored 40-plus points in consecutive contests to begin the season, but doing it for a third time—and finally against a quality opponent—in South Bend while compiling 488 yards of total offense was eye-opening.

Auburn’s defense is a top-notch unit while sitting 22nd in adjusted efficiency, per FPI. But the Tigers have allowed 393.0 yards per game against power conference foes, with much of that damage coming through the air.

While Auburn (1-2-1 against the spread) has held its own during two tough road games, Texas A&M’s 10th-ranked adjusted offensive efficiency is by far the most difficult task the Tigers' defense will have faced. 

The best odds on Texas A&M -6.5 come from BetMGM (-105). The implied probability is 51.22%, and the profit on a $10 bet would be $9.52.

⬆️Marcel Reed Over 259.5 passing yards (-114) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Auburn ranks 79th in the FBS in pass defense (232.8 yards per game) and has been even worse when facing a quality opponent. The Tigers allowed Sawyer Robertson to throw for 419 yards, while John Mateer managed 271 passing yards during a game when he suffered a thumb injury that required surgery.

Reed has cleared this line in two of his three outings and threw for 360 yards against Notre Dame, rising to the occasion while facing A&M’s only quality opponent on the schedule to date.

The leading odds from the best sports betting sites on this prop come from FanDuel at -114. The implied probability at that price is 53.27%, and the profit on a $10 wager would be $8.77.
