Florida vs. Texas A&M odds: Early point spread released, How to Watch
Florida and Texas A&M both got off to disappointing starts to the 2024 season, dropping a home opener against a quality non-conference foe.
Now the two are looking to prove they’re back on track after taking on a greatly inferior opponent in Week 2. For Florida, it was the debut of highly touted freshman quarterback DJ Lagway against Samford, while for Texas A&M it was a bounce-back against McNeese.
According to lines listed by FanDuel, Texas A&M will open as a 3.5-point favorite over Florida. The over/under points total for the contest has been set at 48.5 points.
That sets the expectation going into the game: These should be two reasonably matched teams, though Florida will get a boost from playing at home. Can either team surprise and put together a convincing win? We shall see.

Both teams struggled through a rough season opener. For Florida, Miami simply dominated the lines of scrimmage and made everything tough throughout the afternoon.
Worse, quarterback Graham Mertz suffered a concussion. That forced the Gators to play Lagway, the freshman, against Samford.

The question mark is how much to take away from that showing, given the level of competition. It’s probably hard to make any sweeping generalizations about how good he could be just yet.
On the flip side, Texas A&M lost to Notre Dame in a defensive showing. Quarterback Conner Weigman wasn’t great in the game, going 12-of-30 passing for just 100 yards with two interceptions.
He admitted he has to be better going forward.
So can the two wins over inferior opponents be enough to spark either team on a run of improvement? That’s the key question to watch in this one.
Because one team will come away feeling like it has stabilized things, while the other is likely to feel like the season is truly going in the tank after a 1-2 start to the year. Big stakes.
