College Football Preview - Clemson Tigers at Texas A&M Aggies
The Clemson Tigers have transformed into one of the most powerful college football programs in the country, perennially in the hunt for the national championship. They have a great team once again in 2018, but the margin for error is thin. Clemson has added a challenging non-conference game to the schedule this year as it faces off against the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 2.
Texas A&M will be the underdog but gets this game at home, so if everything goes perfectly a big-time upset is possible. The Aggies aren?t in the same class as Clemson this season but would love to put a scare into the Tigers.
If Clemson can win this one convincingly it will be a good sign for its College Football Playoff chances in NCAA football betting.
The Clemson Tigers and Texas A&M Aggies will face off on Saturday, September 8th, 2018 at 7 p.m. ET at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

Odds Analysis
The Aggies are listed as 12-point underdogs in this matchup. Clemson is the sizable road favorite and is still getting more than 62 percent of the action to cover the spread. The Tigers are -450 favorites on the moneyline, while Texas A&M is the +351 underdog. The Aggies are getting the majority of the action on the moneyline.
The scoring total is listed at 54 points, with the ?under? the more popular pick in NCAA football gambling.
Last Time Out
Clemson had no issues in its opener, which isn?t a surprise considering it played an inferior Furman team. The Tigers grabbed a 41-0 lead after three quarters and cruised to the 48-7 victory. The Clemson rushing attack was impressive, led by Lyn-J Dixon, who had six carries for 89 yards. The Tigers play two quarterbacks and both were solid. Kelly Bryant was 10-of-16 for 127 yards and a touchdown, while Trevor Lawrence was 9-of-15 for 137 yards and three touchdowns.
Texas A&M was equally impressive, dominating Northwestern State 59-7 to begin the season with a bang. The Aggies scored 28 points in the second quarter to take full control. Quarterback Kellen Mond was 17-of-25 for 184 yards and a pair of touchdown. Texas A&M running back Trayveon Williams was absolutely dominant, carrying the ball 20 times for 240 yards and three touchdowns.
Both teams had offenses that rolled and defenses that clamped down, but this will be a much tougher level of competition for each in Week 2.
Key Stat
40. That?s the number of wins, against only four losses, that Clemson has posted the past three seasons. The Tigers have been ranked No. 1 at some point in each of those campaigns, and have a national title as well as a runner-up finish.
Clemson is now ranked No. 2 in the country and should be right in the thick of the national title chase. The Tigers have a bunch of talent on defense and a pair of nice options at quarterback. Texas A&M is an above average team but not quite in the same stratosphere as the Tigers.
Free College Football ATS Picks
The Aggies showed their offensive firepower in the opener, but going against Clemson is a different animal. The Tigers will make Texas A&M work for every point it scores. That being said, this spread is too high considering the Aggies are at home. Clemson is going to come away with a nice road win to continue its dominance but Texas A&M is the pick to cover the spread in NCAA football wagering.
