SEC Football Texas A&M Aggies at Arkansas Razorbacks Start Time, Odds

http://img.bleacherreport.net/img/images/photos/002/346/609/ScreenShot2013-06-07at1.56.05PM_crop_north.jpg?w=650&h=440&q=75

The No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies hit the road on Saturday evening when they take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start time and it will be televised nationally on ESPN2. Currently the odds for the game have Texas A&M favored by a couple of touchdowns on the road.

Prior to Texas A&M joining the SEC, these schools had meet for a 3-year period from 2009-11. Arkansas won all three of those games. The Aggies were able to make them pay for those three wins last year, blasting the Hogs 58-10. A&M rolled up 716 yards in that game and Johnny Manziel had 557 total yards, which broke an SEC individual record. He also had more yards than Arkansas did as a team.

The Aggies have a bye next week. They beat up on SMU last week knowing they had the Hogs in this one. Arkansas had Rutgers done for, leading 24-7 at Rutgers but then lost focus and eventually got beat. Did they mentally check out and look ahead to this one? Could be possible.

And it's not going to get any better for the Hogs. This game starts a four-game stretch where the Razorbacks play No. 10 Texas A&M, at No. 20 Florida, No. 12 South Carolina at home and then a road game at No. 1 Alabama in four consecutive weeks. Ouch. The Hogs will probably be a bit flat in this game, even if it is at home.

For the first time in school history, A&M has scored at least 42 points in their first four games. Sure, they lost to Alabama but they're still averaging better than 50 points per game so far. Manziel is tossing it all over the yard with better than 1,200 yards and 12 touchdowns already. The Aggies are very solid at running the football, too, averaging better than 210 yards on the ground per contest. How can Arkansas slow that down?

Bret Bielema's squad is allowing just 16.5 points per game to opponents. They've gotten out to a 3-1 record but they've played Louisiana Lafayette, Samford, Southern Miss and Rutgers. Not exactly Texas A&M.

But to be fair, Arkansas has been a ticket-cashing machine of late. They're 7-1 against the number in their last eight games dating back to last season. Both teams are +3 in the turnover differential, but the team that win that should be able to get the win in this one.

We like Texas A&M in this one to blow out the Hogs. Head coach Kevin Sumlin believes his team can get to the BCS title game if they win out. First up on that list? Arkansas.
