Arkansas vs Texas A&M Prediction
The Texas A&M Aggies have rebounded nicely from that Notre Dame loss and I guess they’re the more talented team in this spot. The problem is, I’m not leaving points on the table with the Arkansas Razorbacks, one of the better offenses in the country. Taylen Green has shown flashes of being a special quarterback, and Arkansas has scored 21 touchdowns in 4 games. While the defensive line is impressive, Texas A&M can get gashed defensively. Arkansas is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 games as an underdog. If this offensive production continues, Arkansas could steal this game outright. Give me the points.
