Notre Dame vs Texas A&M Game Prediction | Week 1 College Football Game Picks

Unfortunately, we don't know what to expect out of our new coach and staff. Discipline has been restored to the locker room. The new offensive coordinator will be the key. Should be a great game, for both teams. Ready for football!! GigEm!

Loved the '12th man's pick. Great job, guys. Really interesting.

I don't think either QB will be asked to do a designed run week 1. Both are returning from injury and it's too risky against those d lines

Lets go NotreDame HOOKEM

HOOKEM BABY

Love you Boys! ROCK on and Gig’em!

Watch Jeremiah Love to be that new feature back for ND. Christian Grey is going to get some looks as they throw away from Morrison - if he has a big game it’s a good indicator for the W. No idea how this game will go though 😅

35-28 Ags will prevail in this game

Future BIG Ten 2026 members Norte Dame and Texas A&M BIG Ten commish said they will have a AAU School out of TexasAND A&M Fits the bill not TCU .there fan base needs to chill not happen for the Horn Frogs,

It’s all on Notre Dame’s O line. If they can block for Leonard and more importantly their stud RBs then it’s over for A&M

Big Question: will Riley Leonard even play? In March, he had a 2nd surgery to replace a plate in his ankle due to a developing stress fracture. Will be he ready for game 1; will he be mobile if he returns in time; can he plant and throw; can he move lateral or escape the pocket? If Leonard isn't 100% healthy, I think A&M wins; If he doesn't play at all, A&M wins by double digits. If he's 100%, it's a 50/50 toss up.

Number 8# is a liability hope Heard plays deep besides Watts!!

34# OVERRATED KVA is better #25 & #4 are better than Drake😒 he can't get off blocks.. 44🤦 got stone walled by #85 a freshman😭

We have the player's we, just don't play the right player's🤦

ND may have some green OTs, but they will get their baptism by fire by having to practice against ND's defense. Nothing TAMU does should surprise them.

Kyle Field will be rabid - I also think the structure, culture and discipline Elko has instilled this off season will be very apparent - Ags by 7

Get ready to see a tougher A&M locker room. Tommy Moffit got these guys big in the past few months.

I think there's one real big question here. I expect Elko and Bateman to get the defense where it needs to be. Durkin was content to run a 3-3-5 defense which wasn't working. Elko will get the defense into multiple looks and exotic blitzes. The defense should be fine, we should be able to at least match up with the ND offense.

The real big question that everything hinges on is the A&M offensive line. Addazio didn't develop our offensive line at all. Our juniors were basically out there playing like freshman. He's been replaced with Adam Cushing, who Elko brought over from Duke. Considering how good Duke's offensive line was, if Cushing can get the same kind of results from a teamwork perspective, our offensive line should absolutely take off.

I think, if the offensive line looks good and Klein can bring some interesting looks to the team offensively, the game will be close. If the offensive line looks like tissue paper, it's going to be a long season for A&M.

No problem on choices here ND wins big in Kyle Field 1-0 at games end TAMU 0-1.

Everyone Harps on the 2 Oline plays gone, but ND is O-Line and Tight End U, we've had no problems with the next man in. And with Sam Hartman last year. Freeman absolutely screwed up with th OC hire last year. It was horrible. Luckily this year we have an upgrade. Defense is Solid. I do agree Kyle field by itself is a weapon. This is the only game that worries me. But I think we pull it out. Now Texas A&M hit a home run with the Elko hire. I've always liked him since he was here at Notre Dame. Great guy, Great motivator. The future is bright for TAM. Just not game one. Go Irish

What a surprise, Michigan fan picks A&M, didn't see that coming! LOL

A&M is talented DLine. But not deep.. ND Oline is young but verrr talented.. 6'6"325 is Ave.. by 4th qtr..big uglies will be worn down & tryin to tackle J Love & JD price will be too much

As far as A&M offense... ND Defense is Top 3 & 2 -3 deep on spots.. A&M will be lucky to score 13-14 pts.. Game 1 yr 1..v yr 3 & Goldens 3rd yr defense.. ND 31-13..

Kiser is 6th yr Sr. He'll hav young, long, fast, & big LB's in position too make big plays..

I like Elko!! He'll have em ready to play but it's gonna take a yr or 2 before there in upper echelon of SEC or nationally..

It’s gonna be a close game but ND will win, and then A&M will lose a slew of other games and everyone will question how good ND actually is as usual.

The heat will be a factor

What’s ironic is that if this game was in South Bend I don’t believe BSPN College Gameday shows up. When was the last time Gameday was at College Station? Anytime the last decade? The Johnny Manziel years?

Low scoring game. With what ND has returning on defense (#3 passing D in 2023) the Irish turn over A&M twice and get the dub.

aggies by 14 easily especially at kyle field

A&M has a new coach and most of that disaster of a #1 recruiting class is no longer on campus. ND has the edge in Elko’s first game.

I have ND in a close one

I think Notre Dame wins the game!!

Both teams have some stout NFL talent. aTm has some studs. ND has mojo for the first time in ... decades.

12th man ... Gig 'Em ...

Luck of the Irish.

ND 23
aTm 21

This is going to be a Texas A&M offense that Aggies haven’t seen since the Sumlin days and a defense we haven’t seen since probably 2021 when Elko was DC. Any tape on A&M from last year might as well be thrown out the window unless you’re scouting talent.

With that said, neither team makes it to 20 points. I’m going to say 17-13 or 13-10, you call it.

ND for the win 21-14

You guys did your homework on Notre Dame however I dont feel you guys did as much for Texas A&M. 1) New offensive line coach...last one was horrible. 2) Connor Weigman will be a handfull for Notre Dame..Previous 5 star QB was injured last yr. 3) New offensive cordinator will utilize the TE more than before and should get more of those short hard yrds.

I grew up with both the schools. I went to Texas A&M but my dad went to Notre Dame and when I was dying, he used Notre Dame tradition to motivate me. So who do I route for ? Go Irish, Gigg’em Aggies.

A&M got lucky on this game because no Fisher

Where do you get that ND has a great offense? They lost to Ohio State, Clemson and Louisville. Who did they beat......NC State and nobody. TXAM wins this.

Yall left out one item for the A&M / ND game. Temperature, it's going to be HOT!

If A&M gets one touchdown they will be lucky..dont think its gonna be close, cant win if you cant score
