Arkansas ends the slide at over +500

[nvrlose37]

Arky sits at +13 on Texas A&M. On a slide but I'm leaning towards the hogs here, they will go crazy on TAMU offensively. And to those that will spout Kyle Field advantage, I don't think that has had a lot of effect in recent times. Getting great value for a bounce back.

For what possible reason is A&M favored by so much? What do they realistically bring to the table?

[Urbanwildlife]

Because Arkansas is that bad, especially on offense, and they have absolutely no confidence that they can win a game. On the other than hand, Texas A&M can put up points and will on Arkansas in a blow out win. I have watched Arkansas two times this year, and that is the basis for my comment in my initial post.

Aggie d leads nation in sacks

[Big Bear]

i would agree with you b/c texas a&m is pretty weak but this game is on the road.

i think arkansas loses. i mean they just lost to a team from the big least....

[jakeloftin2186]

A&m average sec team not weak Florida had a hard time against them

[RidetheTide]

A&M bad.
Arky terrible. Really, really, terrible.

[Mike650i]

A&M isn't bad, but they're not great either. Arkansas has been underplaying. Rutgers also may be better than everyone thinks.

Looks like spread will be 14 points. I can see this being similar to Auburn/LSU, where it's a tight game. Take the hogs on the spread and maybe some on the ML if you get +500 or better.

Also, this is the game where you're hoping that the public is on A&M (if you bet the hogs). If public leans aggies, then it reinforces that value may be on the hogs, especially if we get 14+ on the spread.

Arkansas is finished. Their coach is in the middle of a breakdown.

isnt this gm played on a neutral field usually? like cowboy stadium or something? has that changed now that they both in sec? i honestly dont know...

@2DaBank

Actually in Tx Station. Sry. Two different sites reporting different things. -13 makes the location obvious.

[YoGaddy]

I thought last week they would come out and win with Wilson being back but after seeing the game they are just bad and I don't see them turning it around the rest of the year. I think they have almost given up

Exactly, and Texas A&M is going to blow them out. Kevin Sumlin is going to have his team prepared and ready to take off in an offensive explosion.

[ShogunRua]

they will go crazy on TAMU offensively.

no.

Yikes

Judging by this thread, the public is going to ride TXAM's dick all the way to the poor house. I'll take it haha!

[Urbanwildlife]

It is called "Reality" but something you know nothing about, at least when it comes to this particular game, so keep on living in your dream world.

[trapezoid]

dead hogs don't bounce..their bounce back game was rutgers..their defense made Gary Nova look like a heisman candidate..maybe im wrong but, think if you wait you can snag 14. 14.5

[falcon42]

TAMU was very close to knocking off a Florida team despite having debuts by their head coach, quarterback, and whole defensive backfield. Had A&M gotten a warmup game versus La Tech, they would have beaten Florida.

That being said, I am not sure how A&Ms offense will do against an "SEC defense". Well we won't find out this week because Arkansas has a defense that is atrocious.


I am not calling for an A&M big win, but I am saying this Arkansas team is not the same without Petrino.

not saying the spread is a bad play by any means. But don't take them +500 on the ML. That really doesn't have any value. Liking Arkansas here is fine, just take them on the spread.

[rm18]

Arkansas will win but they will not be +500 on the ML this is not the NFL, all the 14.5 point dogs that won last week were not even +500 on the ML

[tmoneymonsta]

You guys should hear how depressed local sports radio is around here. RIP 2012

agreed...its horrid....theyve even got bo mattingly down and out and hes the biggest arky homer there ever was. i think one of the dudes on the show with no name said he thinks the hogs will lose by 50 this weekend...hahahaha

[agharah1]

Jeez you'd think people would have learned by now not to trust a john l smith coached football team, especially on the road with no defense to speak of whatsoever.

Who cares if tamu defense is bad, assuming they even are, bad always beats dysfunctional.

Even if Arkansas wins that still didn't make this game worth betting. Betting is about finding value, and if you think this game represents value then you're doing it wrong.

[rm18]

Arkansas has value but more on the ML, bad coached teams are good bets as big underdogs

[M.W.]

A&m average sec team not weak Florida had a hard time against them

Bama, LSU, USC, UGA, UF, then A&M. They're sixth best out of 14 teams -- that's just a little better than average,

[M.W.]

That is a very sharp observation. And they're going on the road where there is less pressure after three straight disastrous performances at home.

I guess you forgot about that one Florida defense? Gators are rolling thus far and had to come back against an Aggie squad with a new coach and QB.
Or maybe you didn't see the aggies punish SMU and put up 70 the following week.

Oh and the Aggie defense held the Gators to their lowest total yet, SMU and zach line to 3 points, and lead the nation in sacks...

Or maybe you didn't see the South Park Sarcastaball season debut tonight.

But regardless soon enough you'll have a good idea of who Johnny Football and the Sumdog are, hopefully you don't have to loose your money first.

[agharah1]

Fade john l smith, its automatic people.

Arkansas was -9 vs. Rutgers. Rutgers is better than A@M this line is a complete joke

Nobody gives RU credit. People keep them out of BE champ discussions and put in USF instead, a complete joke. I went to RU so Im a bit biased but they are pretty good, defensively too. Arkansas put up so many yards on them, on Wilson returning for his first game. Only can get better.
