Arkansas at Texas A&M: Three things to know
- The Razorbacks have split their four games straight up, going 1-1 at home and 1-1 on the road. However, they have been a friend to those at the betting window, cashing in each of their four games while hitting the Under in three of four.
- Arkansas has been very opportunistic on defense, posting three fumble recoveries and 10 interceptions with a plus-6 turnover ratio through four games. That includes seven turnovers against Ole Miss last week, including a pair of pick-sixes.
- Texas A&M doubled up Mississippi State last week 28-14 and they have won and covered each its last two games since a 52-24 loss at Alabama on Oct. 3. The Aggies have really locked down opponents trying to run the ball, allowing just 75.5 yards per game on the ground to rank seventh in the country.

Arkansas at Texas A&M: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Texas A&M 29, Arkansas 23
Money line (ML)
PASS. Texas A&M (-500) is just too expensive to play straight up, as this could turn into a dogfight. Risking five times your potential return is just too much.
Against the spread (ATS)
ARKANSAS (+12.5, -111) have been cover kings so far this season, so there is no reason to get away from the Razorbacks now. Yes, hitting the road for College Station is a tough assignment, but the Hogs’ D will keep them in it and bucking for the upset late before coming up short.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 55.5 (-121) is the best play in this SEC West battle. The Under is 9-3 in the past 12 road outings for Arkansas. Both teams are coming off a bye, too, and the Under is 10-3 in the past 13 for Arkansas after a bye, while A&M cashed in four of the past five after a rest week.
