The Texas A&M Aggies will begin SEC play on Saturday when they travel to “The Swamp” to take on the Florida Gators.
After their 52-10 win over McNeese State, the Aggies enter the matchup as a slight favorite over Florida. FanDuel currently has Texas A&M as a 3.5-point favorite in the game despite being the road team.

The Gators won their Week 2 matchup over Samford, 45-7, but the team is still recovering from its 41-17 season-opening beatdown against Miami. Regardless, the Aggies know that the Gators still pose a threat, especially at home.
“We’re playing in Gainesville,” Aggies defensive back Will Lee III said. “It’s going to be a loud stadium. And we know how Florida gets. I just feel like us being together as a family and understanding what we’re going to do … we’ll be fine.”
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said that the Aggies will have no choice but to be ready for SEC play.
“I don’t think we have much of a choice,” he said. “Next week we’re going down to The Swamp, and the expectation is we’re going down there and playourfootball. … That’s where we’re at. … “We will go back and study the tape for them and figure out how to clean stuff up. Now, (we’re) turning our attention to next week. First SEC game, a road game. We know what both of those things mean for this program.
Texas A&M and Florida will kick off on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT.
