What am I missing?

A&M lost to App St.

A&M's offense can't move the ball.

A&M's defense can't get off the field.

Arkansas is ranked 10th.

The game isn't at Kyle Field.

This is basically free money, right?

Are you some kind of masochist or something? Why set yourself up for this?

A 2 point spread is basically a pick ‘em. If Arkansas hadn’t lost the turnover battle 3-0 last week and had won in the way they were expected to, it probably would be a true pick ‘em.

Bc A&M is really favored by Vegas, he’s asking why when the data points say we shouldn’t be

Vegas is trying to balance out the book.

Too many people are betting on Arkie.

Guess you guys are just better than us. Hopefully, you’ll be as gentle with us as you were with App State. We wouldn’t want to be embarrassed.

Hello Farmer.
On this board it’s tough to tell but in real life Arkansas sucks and usually loses to Texas A&M in football when they play in Dallas.

I agree. I don’t know why Arky isn’t favored.

Arkansas is very overrated, just like Miami, and the money knows it

Because Arkansas doesn't impress anyone. Had Arkansas beat Bama instead of Missouri State then that would be a good question.

But when an FCS team gets the lead 17-0 then people will think Arkansas isn't good which they have the right to think that way.

If Arkansas had won by 28 as they were favored to do then Arkansas is likely a 7-10 point favorite.

But that game last weekend raised a lot of questions and they looked like shite.

My real answer is the sharps still see your historic loss as an anamoly.

From what I have seen, its hanging out around A&M -2 / -2.5 without much movement.
