Best NCAAF Week 6 Picks & Bets: Missouri vs. Texas A&M Headlines Week Six

• Can Texas A&M upset Missouri? 

• Kansas has started 1-4 after high expectations to open the season

Week 6 of college football is highlighted by an SEC matchup that features Missouri and Texas A&M. The Tigers are fresh off a bye, while the Aggies are coming off a 21-17 victory over Arkansas.

Both teams are ranked in the Top 25 as Missouri is #9, and A&M is 25th. We like Missouri to take care of business and remain perfect on the season in 2024. 

In the Big 12, it’s safe to say that Kansas hasn’t met expectations in 2024. After an outstanding season from the Jayhawks a year ago, they started 2024 at 1-4 and now hit the road to take on Arizona State. We expect Kansas to turn their season around and cover the 3.5 points this week.

The Missouri Tigers come into this week undefeated at 4-0 and are fresh off their bye week. The Aggies are 4-1 with their only loss coming to Notre Dam in week one. Both teams are out for blood and look to move their way up in the SEC standings after this week. 

Missouri has found success in star wide receiver Luther Burden who is one of the best receivers in the country. The future first-round pick has 19 receptions for 257 yards to go with four touchdowns. Burden also contributes to this offense on the ground as he is one of the most versatile players in the country. 

The Aggies have been led by running back Le'veon Moss, who has 76 carries for 471 yards and three touchdowns. Texas A&M will try to establish the run game early and often, as that is their strength on the offensive side of the ball. 

Ultimately, Missouri has the advantage in this game with a great receiving room led by Burden, and we think they will dominate this matchup. In our opinion the wrong team is favored in this game and even though the Tigers have to go on the road, they present a far better advantage.

Notre Dame went to Texas A&M and beat the Aggies, and Missouri is a far better team. The Aggies have come up short in big moments, so look for that to happen once again.

Kansas vs. Arizona State Odds on bet365

• Date: Saturday, September 28

• Time: 8:00 PM EST

• Moneyline: Kansas (+122) | Arizona State (-146)

• Spread: Kansas +3.5 (-122) | Arizona State -3.5 (+100)

• Total: Over 49.5 (-110) | Under 49.5 (-110)

Pick: Kansas +3.5 (-122) at bet365

The Jayhawks travel to Arizona State and are in a must-win game, if they want to have a realistic chance of playing in a bowl game. Kansas has experienced all kinds of issues on the offensive side of the ball after losing offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki to Penn State in the off-season. 

The Jayhawks should play their first complete game this season and potentially win outright. 

There is no question Kansas is loaded on the offensive side of the ball, but they have yet to put it all together. Quarterback Jalon Daniels is a great mobile quarterback but turnovers have been an issue all season. 

The offensive line has not been very good at giving Daniels time to throw, but with a great coach in Lance Leipold, but Arizona State’s pass rush isn’t a huge concern. 

Arizona State comes into this game at 3-1, coming off a loss to Texas Tech. Even though they’re back home, Arizona State is in desperation mode. 

The Sun Devils have been led by running back Cam Skattebo, who has carried the football 86 times for 433 yards and five touchdowns. He should have great success against a Kansas defense that has not been good this season. 

We expect this game to be a shoot-out and come down to the wire in crunch time. In a game like this, it can be wise to take the underdog to cover the line especially if the number is higher than a field goal. 

We will gladly back the Jayhawks at +3.5 in a game that should be competitive and come down to the last snap.
