Texas-Texas A&M is back on the college football menu for Thanksgiving weekend 2024.

The No. 3 Longhorns (10-1, 6-1 SEC) take on the No. 19 Aggies (8-3, 5-2) in what will serve as a de facto SEC championship semifinal game.

Texas vs Texas A&M predictions

Thomas Jones, Austin American-Statesman: Texas 28, Texas A&M 20

“The emotions tell one story, but the film says another. The Aggie defense just has too many holes to hold up against a potent Texas attack and will need to win big in the turnover battle or on special teams in order to spring an upset.“

Cedric Golden, Austin American-Statesman: Texas 31, Texas A&M 24

“The offensive line should be on high alert for this one. If the big boys up front protect Quinn Ewers, he will be able to make plays against this A&M secondary. The Longhorn defense is elite and it will keep quarterback Marcel Reed contained just enough to get the win.“

David Eckert, Austin American-Statesman: Texas A&M 24, Texas 21

“The Texas offense has been hit-and-miss this season, and the mobility of its quarterback, Quinn Ewers, is now in question after he suffered an ankle injury against Kentucky. The Aggies are the first team Texas has played in more than a month that won’t be completely overwhelmed by the Longhorns’ athleticism.“
