How to watch Texas A&M vs Kentucky: Betting lines, TV channel, predictions for Week 3 game

Saturday's Texas A&M football game against Kentucky will pit two SEC foes who haven't seen much of one another against each other.

Since A&M entered the conference in 2012, the Aggies have played the Wildcats just one time in football. That was 2018, when Kellen Mond and A&M upset No. 13 Kentucky team in overtime 20-14. Unlike that meeting, the ninth-ranked Aggies will be heavily favored when the teams meet to open A&M's SEC slate (the Wildcats already got conference play started in a loss last week to Alabama).

Kentucky (1-1) is led by new head coach Will Stein, who's coached at UTSA, Texas and Austin high school Lake Travis, and quarterback Kenny Minchey. Texas A&M (2-0) is in its third season under former Duke head coach Mike Elko and its second full season with Marcel Reed at quarterback.

Here is how to watch the game and the initial betting lines, along with some predictions:
