lol. excellent
this thread is exactly why books win people's monies
at the opener of -3...TAMU had some good value. at 7....i think it's gone and you have to consider Ark here or nothing at all.
having an account at BOL and watching for lines to come out Sunday to grab the good numbers is the best way to do well at this.
It may not happen but this is a classic over reaction to weeks 1 thru 3. This line is 21 points off from the preseason line. No big injuries for either team and now an Arkansas team that needs to step up for their coach. If they lose at all, I see it being a close game. Even with the adjusted power rankings, I have it at a pick. Good luck with whatever you do.
Arkansas defense is getting lit up by spread offenses, bielma doesn't know how to defend them in my opinion and struggles like Saban does against them because he recruits big, strong downhill tacklers and lineman that aren't designed or asked to play in space let alone cover athletes in space. Texas tech beat ark by two tds and the Aggies have the best WRs in the sec and probably the country ( in my opinion). I believe every WR they have is a matchup problem for Arkansas. Just judging by those standards Aggies should roll easily, but that's not always how it works. If I can get Texas A&M at -7 then that's who I'm rolling with.. If Arkansas tries to load up and run all day the Aggies will eventually be able to stop that style of play with their athletic defensive front. Kyle Allen is getting better each week and mixing in kyler Murray could be way to much to handle with all those aware running loose... Depending on the total I'm likely on the over as well. im guessing Aggies win 48-31
Overall, Arkansas is currently hard pressed to generate any big plays considering their injuries at the skill positions and they’ll be counting heavily on newcomers to help carry the load this week. The decline of their offensive line in the run game has negatively impacted them as well although their pass blocking has improved. The Hogs are going to find it very difficult to score points unless A&M’s interior defense from the tackles to the safeties doesn’t play well. There will probably be times Saturday when Arkansas moves the ball due to their emphasis on the run game and A&M’s technical issues on defense. However, they’ve scored just 36 points in their last two games and it’s unlikely that a 20 point outing is going to be good enough to beat the Aggies this weekend. A&M wins by 3 TDs
I picked Arkansas in the contest but I think I have a loser........
As an Arkansas homer, I just don't see them staying within 14 of the Aggies. Top WR, RB, 2nd WR all out with season ending injuries. We don't have a true fullback (key to Bielema's offense), our #2 RB is now a freshman, and our previous #2 has a hand/arm injury and will probably be wearing a cast while trying to fill in at FB. We have green LB's and our Oline is big, fat, and slow. The strength of our Defense was supposed to be a 8-10 deep Dline, and they have gotten 1 sack in 3 games. We can't defend spread teams and our offense isn't humming without 3 of our top 5 skill players.
I'm not saying I'm gonna bet this one, but if I was, I'd be all over TAMU up to about a -11 before I'd even be nervous. The last time I bet on an Arkansas game, it was a couple of years ago when Alabama was -7 and ended up winning by 40'ish, I feel like the same thing will happen this weekend.

a&m beat an overrated ASU team and two bad teams, in Ball State and Nevada, both who lit the ags up on offense. a&m is not a good team and they will be exposed as the year goes on. They will have a minimum of four losses. I lean strongly to Arkansas plus the points and love the over 58. This should be a high scoring game with neither team being able to stop the other.
