David Pollack picks home underdog to win in upset Week 14 rivalry game

The Texas A&M Aggies and Texas Longhorns are set to renew their rivalry on Friday, with significant postseason implications. Texas A&M, ranked No. 3, is undefeated and aims to secure a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game. Meanwhile, No. 16 Texas seeks a crucial win to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive. The game, held at Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin, marks the first meeting at this venue since 2010.

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is focused on completing a perfect regular season, while Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian seeks to validate the team's preseason expectations. The matchup will feature Texas's potent offense against A&M's aggressive defense. Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, with 2,763 passing yards and 23 touchdowns, leads the Texas offense, which has found its rhythm. Manning had a standout performance last week with 389 yards and four touchdowns against Arkansas.
