Does Arkansas even have a chance? The Vegas line that opened up was 3 points...do they might know something we don't?

If they can avoid turnovers and run the ball a little bit, they have a chance. While aTm's defense is certainly improved, it's not great.

As of now, I'd say aTm wins by 10-13 points.

Aggy got all they wanted from Arkansas last year. I think the difference is that without Jonathan Williams, Arkansas is finding it difficult to figure out where the offense is going to come from.

I get the feeling aggy rolls.

Yes they know that we don't know what they know about what we think we know because Bert is fat.

No.

I've lost two straight weeks picking Arkansas in ATS. Arkansas has injuries out the wazoo and a coach talking about the games he won last season.

Taking A&M on this one.

This is what I think too

The interior of our defense looked vulnerable last week and Arky could have a huge chip on their shoulder

This game has been a big rivalry since SWC days. Expect Arky to play by far their best game for this season.

This game is much more of a natural rivalry than the manufactured rivalries with LSU or Mizzou.

I don't feel good about it. I'm not yet convinced we can stop the run, and the piggies can't afford to lose this game.

I thought that after they lost to Toledo, they would come out with an attitude against the Fightin' Tortillas. They looked just as hapless, though. So maybe they just don't have it without Jonathan Williams.

no, the difference is that our OL is shite this year, and the defense is way worse than any of us expected

A&M would have to have something go wrong in the locker room to lose.

Arkansas has zero confidence and Aggie is full of confidence. Daylon Mack finna eat.

Everyone definitely underestimated what they lost on defense, myself included. Tech pushed them around up front.

Was not the talking point last year that the players lost on the defense wouldn't matter because there were better players up front coming in? Is it lack of production from those guys or injuries?

The argument wasn't that they were better, but that there was more overall depth this year. There's more depth... but they all suck. Also, I'm not sure what the DC is doing. The secondary (returning 3 starters) is sitting back 10 yards off the receivers and letting them throw simple shite all day on them. Also, our open field is tackling is waaaaaaay worse.

There's probably not an SEC caliber LB on this team either. They got abused all day in pass coverage against Tech.

No big injuries on defense

IF A and M stacks the box, which they will do, they will win big. We have a receiver starting that was on the scout team two weeks ago that was going to redshirt. We are beyond thin at receiver and don't even get me started about the defense

Not everyone.

That was a downward trending Trill lead offense. We should be better in all aspects (O, D, ST) while Ark is not as good and depleted from injuries.

I think something like 38-21 will be the final.
