Joey Galloway picked Texas A&M.

Kevin Negandhi picked Texas A&M.

"I'll take Texas A&M," Galloway said. "I just think they've been a different football team since losing to Mississippi State. They have become the team we expected."

Mississippi State beat Texas A&M 26-22 on Oct. 2, and TAMU has won four straight since that loss.

"At the end of every football season, teams who didn't get to where they wanted to get will sit down and look at their schedule and say, 'How in the world? We literally lost it all right here,'" Galloway said. "And that's what A&M will be doing for a long time."

Sports anchor for ESPN's SportsCenter Kevin Negandhi. The V Foundation for Cancer Research, a top-rated cancer research charity, and ESPN Hall of Fame Sportscaster Dick Vitale were pleased to announce that the 16th Annual Dick Vitale Gala has raised over $5 million for pediatric cancer research. Held on May 7, 2021, at the Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota, the Gala hosted supporters and celebrities to further groundbreaking advancements in childhood cancer research.

TAMU is led in rushing by Isaiah Spiller with 873 yards on 144 carries.

"Isaiah Spiller, I love that they discovered the running game again," Negandhi said. "He's the guy to carry them. Defense, it will be a physical grind. I know (Ole Miss quarterback Matt) Corrall and (Ole Miss head coach) Lane (Kiffin) and the offense, but I trust A&M's defense. I was really impressed how well they played against Auburn, holding them to three points. I'm with you going with A&M."

Texas A&M beat Auburn 20-3 on Nov. 6.
