Texas A&M is preparing for the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas with an interim head coach, but Vegas sports books expect A&M's edge in talent to overcome whatever problems might come from the coaching change. The Aggies are currently favored by 10 points over the Northwestern Wildcats, according to OddsShark.

For Texas A&M, it helps that the game is being played in Texas, since the Aggies figure to have more fans in attendance than the Wildcats. But Northwestern has played well in a variety of environments this season, including Lincoln, Nebraska, and certainly can't be counted out against this inconsistent Texas A&M team. Both schools have enough offense to rally and score points quickly.
