\"The<\/a>
The Mississippi State Bulldogs have moved from home underdogs to favorites Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Texas A&M will be seeking its first 6-0 start since 1994, which is important to consider when making your Week 6 college football betting picks, as it comes off a 35-28 overtime victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks as 9.5-point home favorites last Saturday.\u00a0 The Aggies are being led offensively by sophomore quarterback Kenny Hill, who has completed 118 of 180 passes for 1,745 yards and 17 touchdowns this season\u2014taking over the controls for the departed Johnny Manziel.\u00a0 Texas A&M is 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 5-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Aggies and Baylor Bears are the only teams nationally that rank in the top 10 in passing, total and scoring defense, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college football odds page.\u00a0 Texas A&M has been at its best in the red zone\u2014scoring on 25-of-27 trips inside the opponent\u2019s 20-yard line with 22 touchdowns.\u00a0 Defensively, the team has played much better this season after a horrid 2013 campaign, as it has limited foes to an average of 15.0 points and 376.4 yards per game.<\/p>\n

Mississippi State is 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS through four games, as it enjoyed a bye week after picking up a 34-29 victory over the LSU Tigers as seven-point road underdogs on Sept. 20, while going OVER the betting total of 48.\u00a0 The Bulldogs have racked up over 500 yards of total offense in each of their last five games dating back to last season\u2014representing the longest such stretch in school history, with Heisman Trophy candidate Dak Prescott being the main reason for that success.\u00a0 Mississippi State is 2-0 SUATS as home favorites since 2012.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs have scored 165 points heading into this affair at Davis Wade Stadium, which represents the highest such figure for the program through its first four games of a season.\u00a0 Mississippi State has forced 23 turnovers in its last nine games dating back to last season, while its 34 tackles for loss is tops in the SEC and sits behind just four teams nationally.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Aggies due to the Bulldogs being 2-3 ATS following a week off in their last five opportunities.<\/p>\n
