The Texas A&M Aggies and USC Trojans are set to face off in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl, which would have been a classic SEC vs. Pac 12 matchup before the conference realignment during the offseason.

ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) has a prediction for Texas A&M’s bowl game matchup against USC. The 2 sides are set to meet in the Las Vegas Bowl on Friday evening. FPI sees this game as a virtual tossup, with the Trojans have the slight edge. They have a 50.6% chance to win the game outright, according to FPI.

Defensively, it will be tough for USC to slow down the Aggies, specifically through the air without cornerback Jaylin Smith. The 49 points Notre Dame put up on the Trojans in the regular-season finale were the most they’ve allowed all year, though most of the damage was done on the ground. A shootout might be the best-case scenario for the Trojans.
