Alabama A&M vs Arkansas Prediction 8/30/2025 Today’s College Football Picks

In this article we will formulate an Alabama A&M vs Arkansas prediction for this College Football game on Saturday, August 30th at Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this week 1 matchup. 

Alabama A&M Bulldogs Betting Preview

The Alabama A&M Bulldogs went 6-6 (4-4) last year and they finished fourth in the SWAC East standings behind Jackson State, Florida A&M, and Alabama State. Alabama A&M started the 2024 season with a 73-3 loss against Auburn, but they did win their next two games. The Bulldogs defeated Kentucky State, Georgetown KY, Bethune-Cookman, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Grambling State, and Mississippi Valley State, while they lost to Auburn, Austin Peay, Jackson State, Alabama State, Southern, and Florida A&M. The Bulldogs were able to finish .500 on the season, but they definitely struggled against the better teams on the schedule. 

Arkansas Razorbacks Betting Preview

The Arkansas Razorbacks were 7-6 (3-5) last season and they finished tied for 11th in the SEC standings with Vanderbilt. Arkansas did get a win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff by a score of 70-0 in their opener, but they had a disappointing season overall. Arkansas also picked up wins over UAB, Auburn, Tennessee, Mississippi State, and Louisiana Tech, while they lost to Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas, and Missouri in the regular season. Arkansas did make a bowl game with a 6-6 record, where they beat Texas Tech by a score of 39-26 in the Liberty Bowl. Arkansas scored 30.9 points per game in 2024, which was ranked 44th in the country, while they allowed 25.0 points against per game, which was 66th. 

This year, Arkansas will have Taylen Green at quarterback, who is a dual threat QB that can attack defenses. Green will continue to make plays with his legs, but the passing game may be slow to start, as all of last season’s main targets are gone. I think the Arkansas offensive line will be average, but they have a stable of running backs that should be able to rack up rushing yards. On defense, Arkansas should be the same or slightly better than last year, as the front seven should be very good. I am a little concerned with the secondary, but they did get some talent in the portal.

Alabama A&M vs Arkansas Prediction 

Arkansas comes into the 2025 season with decent expectations and they should be able to dominate this game. The Razorbacks should move the ball with ease on the ground and through the air, while their defense shouldn’t give up much. We saw Arkansas dominated Pine Bluff last year, while Alabama A&M lost by 70 against Auburn. I think we will see similar results here and I like Arkansas to cover this huge number.
