Notre Dame at Texas A&M Preview & Picks
Texas A&M are tipped to take down Notre Dame in the series opener.
The Fighting Irish are breaking in a new quarterback and offensive co-ordinator, and that spells trouble on the road against a defensive mastermind backed by a raucous crowd.
- Texas A&M were 4-2-0 ATS as a home betting favorite last season
- Notre Dame were 0-1-0 ATS as a betting underdog in 2023
- The Under cashed in 4 of Texas A&M’s last 6 home games
- The Under hit when Texas A&M coach Mike Elko faced Notre Dame as Duke DC last season
Head To Head
- Notre Dame lead the all-time series 3-2
- Texas A&M won 24-3 when the two teams last met in September 2001
Notre Dame Form
Notre Dame enter the 2024 season looking to make a run at the College Football Playoffs after falling short in 2023.
The Fighting Irish went 9-3 during the regular season, but a couple of costly defeats prevented them from fighting for the national title.
They suffered a heart-breaking 17-14 loss at home to Ohio State and were also beaten 31-21 when they visited unranked Clemson in early November.
Notre Dame did end the regular season with a couple of victories though, downing Wake Forest 45-7 at home and Stanford 56-23 on the road.
The Fighting Irish then took on Oregon State in the Sun Bowl and ran out 40-8 winners to end the season on a high.
Texas A&M Form
Texas A&M come into the 2024 campaign with a new head coach as they move on from the Jimbo Fisher Era.
The Aggies have turned to former Duke defensive co-ordinator Mike Elko after going 7-6 in what proved to be Fisher’s final season in charge.
They suffered an early setback with a 48-33 defeat at Miami FL, but they rallied to enter October with a 4-1 record.
However, Texas A&M went 3-4 over their final seven games of the season, losing all four of their meetings with ranked teams.
Their seven wins were enough for the Aggies to earn a Bowl Game, but they failed to sign off with a victory as they were beaten 31-21 by Oklahoma State in the Texas Bowl.
Verdict
Mike Elko came close to taking down Notre Dame last season, and now he has a better roster at his disposal.
He also has a hot crowd at Kyle Field behind him, so we expect the new Texas A&M coach to enjoy a successful start to his reign.
