Texas A&m Aggies vs South Carolina Gamecocks Picks and Predictions November 15th 2025

Texas A&M vs South Carolina Week 12 Betting Preview

Texas A&M is 9-0 and No. 3 in the CFP, and Mike Elko has spent the week reminding his team that South Carolina beat the Aggies 44-20 last season. That message has shaped preparation for Saturday.

The Aggies rolled Missouri 38-17 behind 221 passing yards from Marcel Reed and 102 rushing yards from Rueben Owens II. Their defense held Missouri to 77 passing yards and continues to rank among the best pressure units in the country.

Reed has thrown at least two touchdowns in seven of nine games and sits top 25 in total offense. Texas A&M is 6-0 in SEC play for the first time since joining the conference.

South Carolina is 3-6 and deep into a brutal run of ranked opponents. LaNorris Sellers torched A&M last season, but this fall he has seven touchdown passes and five picks. The Gamecocks are last in the SEC in scoring and total offense after Shane Beamer fired two offensive coaches during the bye week.

Matchup Breakdown

Texas A&M controls the trenches. The Aggies lead the nation in sacks and sit near the top in pressure rate. South Carolina’s offensive line has struggled for two seasons, giving A&M a clear defensive edge.

A&M’s offense ranks top 15 in points per game and top 25 in rushing. Reed’s mobility blends with Owens’ efficiency, helping them dictate tempo and stay ahead of schedule.

South Carolina leans on Sellers and explosive shots to Nyck Harbor and Rahsul Faison. The defense can create havoc with strong sack and takeaway numbers, but it has struggled to sustain stops against high-level opponents.

The central question for bettors:
Does South Carolina create early-down disruption, or does A&M’s front dominate as soon as the Aggies build a lead?
