The Aggies can’t be too psyched about paying Lubbock a visit this weekend considering they’ve been tarred and feathered the last two times they have visited the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech beat them 59-28 in Dennis Franchione’s first year at the helm back in ’03, and then followed that effort up with a 56-17 beat down in 2005. As much as I want to lay the points with Tech here, I can’t, since I believe the Aggies' ground attack will play a major role in deciding the victor of this contest.

That being said, I’ll look to the total and back the Over with both of these offenses having the upper hand on both stop units. It’s real simple fellas: A&M can’t defend against the pass and Tech can’t stop the run. Therefore, expect Aggie QB Stephen McGee and running backs Jorvorskie Lane and Mike Goodson to run circles around Tech’s defense, while Raiders QB Graham Harrell will throw for 500+ yards and super frosh wide receiver Michael Crabtree will probably haul in four touchdowns and 200+ receiving yards.

This one should be very fun to watch, and the last team with the ball might just have the opportunity to win the game outright. As long as Franchione doesn’t call this game like he did at Miami, this ticket should be golden. Hit the Over as these teams take turns humiliating each other's stop unit.

Free Pick: Texas A&M-Texas Tech Over 69½ (-110)
