Randy’s Pick

The Texas A&M Aggies are the more talented team on paper, but they’re still having issues running the ball, and they looked terrible in their only non-home game this season against Miami. The Arkansas Razorbacks are coming off back to back losses, but both games were close, and that includes a road loss to LSU that came down to the wire. Arkansas is still physical defensively, and Jefferson is a playmaker at quarterback who should help this Razorbacks’ offense get it together. Last year’s meeting was a two-point game. Expect the same here. Give me Arkansas and the free touchdown.
