Texas A&M looks to keep its SEC Championship hopes alive when it plays at Ole Miss in a noon kick in Oxford.
For the Aggies to win the SEC West Division they would need to beat the Rebels and win at LSU and hope Alabama loses one of its two remaining SEC games against Arkansas or at Auburn.
First things first, Coach Jimbo Fisher’s defense looks to stay dialed in against Heisman Trophy candidate Matt Corral. Texas A&M is a 2 1/2-point favorite.
The Rebels are averaging 37.8 points per game, but the Aggies rank second in the nation in points per game allowed (14.7).
The pick: Texas A&M 27, Ole Miss 20

The Hogs are 6-3 after last Saturday’s 31-28 win over Mississippi State and hope to bring a five-game losing streak to LSU.
The pick: LSU 23, Arkansas 17
Georgia (-20) at Tennessee
