The sixth-ranked Texas A&M Aggies take on the Arkansas Razorbacks in an SEC college football showdown Saturday from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Currently the college football odds for the game have the Aggies favored by a little over a touchdown.
When the line opened up, Texas A&M was being favored by more than a couple of touchdowns. Now the Aggies are laying just over a touchdown as the Hogs roll into Jerry World fresh off a beatdown of three straight opponents.
Arkansas struggled last year in Bret Bielema's first season, but the Razorbacks have responded well after an opening loss at Auburn this year. The Hogs have won three straight, drilling Nicholls State, winning on the road at Texas Tech and beating Northern Illinois last week. In the three games Arkansas averaged 58 points per game.
But now they enter a horrendous stretch where Arkansas will have to play sixth-ranked Texas A&M, third-ranked Alabama, 12th-ranked Georgia, 14th-ranked Mississippi State, 17th-ranked LSU, 10th-ranked Ole Miss and a road game at Missouri to end the season. That might be the single toughest stretch in college football this season. At least the Hogs have a bye next week.
The Aggies have picked up two straight victories in this series after Arkansas had won from 2009-11. QB Kenny Hill has picked up right where Johnny Football left off last season, tossing touchdowns, racking up yards and putting points on the board for Texas A&M. He's thrown only a couple of picks so far this season compared to 13 scores while completing 70 percent of his passes.
Arkansas will look to establish the run in this one, which has helped them start the season at 3-1. They've rolled up nearly 1,200 yards in the last three weeks and then play-action over the top with Brandon Allen, who has been very good with only one interception on the year.
Texas A&M will obviously test the Arkansas defense, but the Hogs will keep the ball on the ground and playing on a neutral site will certainly help. Look for the upset here as Arkansas is riding high.
Free Pick: Arkansas 31, Texas A&M 28
