What bowl game does Texas A&M play in? Looking at the Aggies' postseason matchup

Mike Elko's Texas A&M Aggies will face Lincoln Riley's USC Trojans in the Las Vegas Bowl this postseason. The Aggies missed a College Football Playoff berth after back-to-back losses to Auburn and Texas. Those defeats kept them out of the Southeastern Conference championship game and dropped them from the top 25 rankings.

Texas A&M (8-4, 5-3 SEC) suffered losses to Notre Dame, South Carolina, Auburn and Texas this season. A win over Texas could have secured an SEC championship game berth, potentially leading to a College Football Playoff spot.

Las Vegas Bowl: Favorites and odds

The Aggies come in as slight favorites for this game, with the bookies favoring them by -2.5 points. This is highly understandable, considering they have a winning record. The Trojans had a hard time adapting to their new conference, the Big Ten, with five defeats to opponents from this formerly Midwestern grouping of schools.

However, ESPN's game predictor has taken the opposite view of the betting houses here. At the moment, the game predictor is favoring USC over Texas A&M, with the former having a 49.3% chance of winning the postseason encounter.
