Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Texas A&M Aggies Prediction
I’m on the Razorbacks and the points in this one. I get the case to be made for A&M at home, as the Aggies have quite the home field edge going for them. However, I think Arkansas is waking up after their slow start and I think the Aggies are kind of overrated even at home. We’re bordering on must-win territory for the Hogs considering how this season has started and I think the Aggies win but I think Arkansas puts up a fight. Give me Arkansas and the points.
