No. 13 Miami at No. 24 Texas A&M Prediction for Week 3
Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

Southern Mississippi presented much more of a challenge to Miami than it should have, but in the end, the Hurricanes ended up with a 30-7 win. It's been a success overall to the start of Mario Cristobal's tenure as head coach of the once-great program as he tries to revive it to prominence just like he did with Oregon in his time there. He has a great QB prospect in Tyler Van Dyke, but he's built a run-centered offense, rushing over 40 times already in two games. This opens the passing game for his talented signal caller, who has thrown just one interception and 12 incompletions so far.
This will be his biggest challenge yet as he strolls into College Station to face the Aggies in a primetime road game. That type of pressure can get to you, but Van Dyke has the talent to perform well. This will be their first real challenge this season after playing two inferior opponents as tune-ups.
A trend to note: Mario Cristobal is 7-2 SU after allowing 75 or fewer rushing yards last game over his career.
