Arkansas +2.5 at Texas Tech

J_On_A_Roll · 09-10-14, 09:32 PM

Thanks for the insight. Been looking at Arkansas. Texas tech that weak? Maybe this goes over right?

Texas Tech could very well be 0-2 right now. UTEP nearly scored the game winning touchdown in the final minute last week but didn't get it done. They will not be able to stop Arkansas' rushing attack.

I don't know about the over. Just take Arky and the points.

I agree and can't for the life of me figure out why TX Tech is favored in this one. Makes me hesitate!

2012 4-8
2013 3-9
the previous three years Arkansas has won a combine 3 road games
anyone here believe in Arkansas secondary

having said all that I like Arkansas but its not a shock to me that the home team is favorite here

Down to -1 now. I have a feeling Arkansas gonna catch a beatdown...lol. No play for me...so gl guys.

2012 they had interim coach after Petrino scandal. JOHN L SMITH.... Are you kidding me?
2013 was Bielema's first season after leaving Wisky.

This team has 2 of the top backs with one of the top O-Lines in the country.

I agree with you about questionable secondary... but look at Texas Tech this season.... no power house there either. Won by a combined 11 points to UTEP and Central Arkansas................

I like a small upswing by Bielema this year, although I think he's done a horrible job thus far. And, I believe Tech is one of the most penalized teams in the nation so far this season. I see value in the Arky moneyline (I grabbed it at +110).

Go ahead and add a third back, a guy by the name of Korliss Marshall. He will be a staple in the offense this year. Dude is explosive.

you clowns realize TTU outyarded UTEP by around 3.5 yards per play right? They outyarded Central Arkansas by around 3 yards per carry which was subpar, but the UTEP game was a fluke. They dominated that game, the only thing that killed them was time of possession which isn't a big deal in a pickem game like this one. The pass defense against Auburn was abysmal for Arky. I think TTU lights the scoreboard up and Arky grinds it out on the ground. I think Texas Tech should be around a 7+ point favorite and I'll gladly take the premium placed on this game by people not dissecting what actually happened in the previous games outside of the final score.

Thanks for the input, TPowell. Not sure why you were defensive in your post though.

zola · 09-12-14, 04:09 PM

TPowell was angry. Ironically he has Petrino in his avatar. Did you just read the stat lines TPowell or did you actually watch the game?

Just as much as the score isn't reflective of the game, the stats aren't always either, pal.

Take a chill pill. Sounds like this game is personal for you.

TP is just a loyal Louisville fan, I'm sure he has no hard feelings toward Arky at all. I am a die-hard Arky homer and for that reason I never bet on them, as I don't bet off emotion. I really do see Arkansas has the favorite in this one though.

Take whichever side you want, but I really think Arkansas would the play here before I took TTU

zola · 09-12-14, 05:19 PM

I am in Arky too but I can't say the same about being a die-hard homer. Haha

Woo Pig Sooiie for Saturday, though.

Plus1 · 09-12-14, 05:51 PM

Arkansas will win outright. Offensive line is top 5 size-wise in the NFL....yes, the NFL. The O and D line will determine this game and they both favor Arky in a major way.

zola · 09-12-14, 06:26 PM

Game is a PK em in some spots and Arky favored -1 in others.

Good luck, hope you got it early

zola · 09-13-14, 05:28 PM

Boom! GG Arkansas backers. Nice, easy win!

HeeluvaGuy · 09-13-14, 06:06 PM

Nice job on this one. Pretty much as advertised. Hogs' running game couldn't be stopped.
