Lets get the obvious out of the way (my mom probably could tell me this about this game):
1. Ark has looked like dawgshit so far, it seems they have lost their identity under new OC 2. A&m looks awsome with chief running the defense and allen looking good at qb. Big win in PRIMETIME over asu opening weekend. Giggem!! (did i spell that right?) 3. All signs point to any easy a&m victory, lets pile on arkansas while they are down, sound good guys? A&m has it going, ark sucks.
Eeewwwwww, I'm not so sure. A few other things i do know:
- Beliema is a good football coach, they have obviously hit a rough patch but do i think he can turn thing around? Yes. First SEC game of the year, he has players believing that have a clean slate. - what would this line have been 3 weeks ago? Ark -3? Maybe higher? So we have a 10+ point spread swing in week 4. - the line opened at -3 and steamed up to -7, vegas set the line as if the game would be close. Unless vegas is giving out freebies. Not likely. If it looks too easy it usually isnt. - public is hammering a&m, 90% of plays on a&m - what has been the weakness of a&m's the past few years? Soft run defense. Will that weakness rear its ugly head at some point? I think it might. Ark hasnt proven it yet but they cetainly have the potential to ram it down your throat and have you calling home for mommy.
I totally get it while folks are on a&m, bit i'm going to put my money on the hogs getting a td with backs against the wall.

I like the thinking and don't forget its a revenge game for arkansas who had it in the bag last year, i think up 10 pretty late... but I still got A&M in this one.
Ark's QB looked great in the first two but couldn't get it going vs tech and have 3 wr's injured. I think they stay one dimensional and it will come down to their (truly) monster OL to win the game. A&M's DL looks better than last year. I'll add that Garrett could be an AA (albeit for his pass rush ability) and Mack is a beast at nose and might be a Fr AA. There are a few others on the DL who give some depth and make them a good unit this year...against a line with an avg about 310
On D ark got torched and would expect this will happen again, i think A&M has the best wr's in the game. ASU's D was a good litmus test for Allen and Murray. they started slow but eventually figured them out. Allen has got two more tune up games since then so expect he will be ready.
I do agree the line looks a little fishy and don't like being an overzealous public. In the end i think A&M stops the run enough times and ark runs out of options.

Glad to know I'm not the only one on this side...public looks at the b2b losses and injuries at key positions and thinks, this team is doa...easy A&M victory.

I c a humiliated team backed into a corner, with an offensive line that has 50 lbs / man size advantage....Beilema gets back to the basics..run the ball, chew up clock.
HOGS +7...down to the wire.

Really had trouble looking at this matchup. Arkansas did really good against some good teams at the back end of last season. Doesn't seem like the same team now. I'd be pissed if that team showed up vs TAM LoL. I passed on this game. My lean would be TAM, because ARK I believe won those games on the shoulders of its defense.

Agreed and good write up. Arky to press for the W all the way. No quit. A and M more open offensively, but Arky can find openings, and probably a lot of one on one in the open field. Arky a good play.
