Texas A&M Opens As Major Favorites vs. New Mexico State
The Texas A&M Aggies are coming off of a much-needed bye week, following their embarrassing blowout loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Fortunately, it appears that Texas A&M will have more than one week to get things fixed before returning to SEC play.
This weekend in College Station, Texas A&M will host the 2-7 New Mexico State Aggies at Kyle Field, and will enter the matchup as 40.5-point favorites, per Fan Duel.
In other words, it should be about as close to a second-consecutive bye week as Texas A&M can hope for.
“I think you’re at that point in the season where the wear and tear and the physical pounding is something that’s real,” head coach Mike Elko said last week. “Getting our guys back so that we can finish fresh and strong down the stretch is going to be important. Obviously, making sure we understand that we’ve got to stay sharp through the bye week. I think we didn’t do a great job at that against Mississippi State. I thought we started really slow and poor against Mississippi State.
The two Aggie teams have faced off just one other time in the respective program histories, with Texas A&M taking home a 52-10 win in 2016.

SANTA FE, N.M. — Former New Mexico Public Regulation Commissioner Jim Ellison is running for governor as a Republican, he announced on social media Tuesday.
Ellison is running on affordability, opportunity and trust in government as the key points of his campaign. His experience includes serving on the NMPRC in 2023 and 2024.
“New Mexico deserves leadership that listens, acts, and delivers results. Our state has enormous potential, but too often that potential is held back by policies that don’t serve everyday New Mexicans,” he said on his website. “I’m running to bring practical solutions, honest accountability, and a renewed focus on the public interest.”
A Georgia native, Ellison has lived in New Mexico for 20 years and currently lives in the Albuquerque area with his wife and two children.
Ellison is aiming to get 5,000 signatures by Feb. 2, to appear on the primary ballot with at least three other Republicans who have announced their candidacy.
Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez announced his campaign in December and recently confirmed to KOB 4 that he received enough signatures to appear on the primary ballot. Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull and New Mexico State Sen. Steve Lanier are also running.
Three Democrats are running – Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman, Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and Former Las Cruces Mayor Ken Miyagishima.
