Head coach Mike Sherman’s squad has gotten off to quite the start going a perfect 2-0 both SU & ATS while outscoring the opposition by an aggregate score of 96-23. Jerrod Johnson has already thrown for 627 yards and boasts a healthy TD/INT ratio of 6/0; he’s the ringleader of the nation’s 10th ranked scoring (48 PPG) and 5th ranked overall yards (552 YPG) offense.

While those numbers have many of the belief that this Aggies club can compete for the Big 12 South title, the competition is yet to present a stiff challenge. Unfortunately for them, it will remain that way until they invade Stillwater, OK for a Thursday night battle with the Oklahoma State Cowboys at the end of the month as the Golden Panthers come in winless on the year.

That said; head coach Mario Cristobal had his kids on the brink of the biggest win in the program’s short FBS history at home last week against Rutgers where they just came up short in springing the upset. Whether the effort put forth was an anomaly or not, the fact that the defense held a Big East squad to just 172 yards of combined offense while racking up 371 yards themselves is quite impressive; this is a Sun Belt team were talking about after all. That’s an eye opener in and of itself, and is one of the main reasons I like them plus this heaping load of points in tonight’s spot.

While the Aggies are leaps and bounds better than the Rutgers Scarlet Knights, I’m not so sure they’ll come out determined in all four quarters of this one with their ‘bye’ on deck before opening up Big 12 play. The Aggies are just 3-9 ATS the L/12 times they played off a win of 20 or more points, and stand 5-11 ATS the L/16 times they played off a SU win. Look for FIU to sneak within this lofty pointspread.

Mike Rose is simply EN FUEGO on the College Gridiron going 9-1 ATS his L/10 2010-11 Positions! That only adds to his current 61% Streak over the course of his L/110 CFB selections. He has a huge day in store Saturday with his one and only 8* September ATS Game of the Month, 5* Non-Conference Total Slam, 4* Woodshed Massacre, and increasingly popular, “No Respect” Rodney D Game of the Week.
