Payton Thorne QB vs. Conner Weigman QB
The battle between these two quarterbacks could very well dictate the game’s tempo and eventual outcome. Auburn’s Payton Thorne comes in with 43 completions on 63 passing attempts for 517 yards, resulting in a 68.3% completion rate and an average of 8.2 yards per pass. However, Thorne has also thrown 3 interceptions and has been sacked 5 times, which raises some questions about his decision-making under pressure.
Texas A&M’s Conner Weigman has been sterling, with 74 completions on 105 attempts for a whopping 909 yards. He’s achieved a 70.5% completion rate, and a higher average of 8.7 yards per pass, making him statistically the more explosive quarterback.

Auburn Tigers vs. Texas A&M Aggies 09/23/23 Betting Picks
In this highly anticipated SEC battle, both teams bring their A-game with standout performances expected from key players. Auburn, despite being the underdogs, can’t be ruled out entirely.

When it comes to placing bets, considering the over for the total at 52.5 seems a wise choice given the offensive capabilities of both teams.
