Hanging close with Clemson and racking up 706 yards in a 51-14 win over Arkansas State is apparently more impressive than beating UCLA and a 67-0 shutout of Prairie View.

Auburn (1-1) opened as a four-point favorite against Texas A&M (2-0), according to VegasInsider.com, for next Saturday's game at 6 p.m. (ESPN).

The Aggies are coming off a 67-0 win over Prairie View, the second shutout in as many seasons with John Chavis running the Aggies defense. Texas A&M opened the season with a 31-24 overtime win against UCLA.

Since joining the SEC, Texas A&M has made a huge impact on each of the last four Auburn seasons. However, this will be the earliest meeting of the teams on the calendar.

The road team has won each of the four meetings since the Aggies joined the conference.

Auburn has covered the spread in both of its games this season.

The Tigers closed between 7.5 and 8.5-point underdogs against Clemson and covered in a 19-13 loss. A 51-14 win over Arkansas State covered the roughly 20-point spread.

The game will feature another meeting with Aggies wide out Ricky Seals-Jones, one of the biggest receivers in the conference. His hit in last year's game on Jeremiah Dinson, which ended the cornerback's season, will be a talking point this week.
