FPI favors Aggies slightly. Before watching the A&M games closely this week, I had this as a tight low scoring game with perhaps a special teams play making the difference. I now have some questions about the Aggie run defense considering Arkansas can definitely run the football. And A&M obviously has offensive line issues too. I still think it’s low scoring because these are the two best defensive coordinators in the country and they will muck it up, but I’m leaning Arkansas because of the rush offense and defense.

I’ve got it Arkansas 27 A&M 20

This game really comes down to whether or not A&M can contain the Razorback rushing attack. If yes, A&M probably wins. If no, Arkansas probably wins. Good luck tomorrow, Hogs and Aggies

I think that's pretty much a fact. Only Venables could claim it and his defense requires a talent advantage. Elko and Odom do more with less.

A&M got back 3 Starters on D since the first game and hasn't given up a point in 7 Quarters. If this game comes down to the Arkie O vs the A&M D I really like our chances. This isn't the Texas D with a 229 lb DE and a walk on LB missing assignments and diving at feet. These guys are big, fast, and nasty and Elko's D gives a lot of looks and switches fast.

The weakness for A&M is the OL right now. They have talent but are young and making a lot of mistakes which is not what you want a backup QB forced into action to have to deal with. They have shown flashes of greatness but no consistency. For instance our TE is great and had a big game last year against Ark. Achane is the fastest player probably in CFB and certainly on the field for this game. Spiller is a tough SOB that is a complete back. Demas finally got his first 2 catches and showed his potential as the elite 5 Star WR A&M has been missing.

If Arkie can bust through that OL though and get in Calzada's head it is big trouble for Aggy.
