  4 Star Play for me!  LARGE LARGE LARGE LARGE... did I say LARGE?  Just like Vandy last week.  Load up on Arkansas... when you look at the level of competition and the records they are deceiving.. that's why the line is where it is... Arkansas has played Alabama and Georgia.. both good SEC teams, good offenses and good defenses. Lost both games. Texas A&M is undefeated beating Utah State, New Mexico, and UAB... 3-0.. but the level of competition is not there. So, after Arkansas has went up against 2 quality high caliber teams now they come up against an opponent that has won but not played anyone yet... So now Arkansas has the experience and has been in the trenches with SEC foes... they'll take that experience and win this game!!!  That's my reasoning, that's my angle, and I'm sticking to it.  Sharp

Sharp, your reasoning is great but why isn't the line higher?  A&M has done nothing to warrant not being at least a TD dog here on a neutral field.  I am just too jaded to look at that line and not feel this is a trap.

FYI, as of right now, this site shows the game at Kyle field but it is being played at the Cowboys new field.  Ark Alum Jerry Jones must have pulled a few strings!

john - you probably answered your own question.. because their not at home.. also, vegas knows they've played tougher opponents.. they know about the SEC... and Texas A&M has played cupcakes.  If Arkansas would have beat Georgia they would probably be -7.... It's kind of like Vandy last week.. only -7 at Rice... record says 2 really bad teams, but when you take into account who Vandy plays, level of competition, they win handely and i made alot of $$ on that game... I'll play that almost same theory here.... A&M not a passing team which Arky has some problems with, and Arky can stop the run game.  Advantage Arky... I like my chances!  Sharp

so you have a team that for the most part has been beating up on bad teams v. a team that for the most part has gotten its ass kicked by superior teams...
 
the opening line is pick and moved to just -1 for ark on a neutral site for a reason.
 
this means no play... both teams have talent.  there is no way you can find value in the line here.  ark 52-41 defeat of ark means nothing...

yes, from the picks i've seen you post on this board this season, your bookie and/or offshore book must do a lot more collecting than you...

I am down for the year... long way to go... slow start... but I've got plenty of his $$ from the last 5 years... we'll see how I do after the year is over... I guess you missed out on the Vandy game?  Gambing is also about $$ management... that Vandy game was worth 4G's... that makes up for alot of small wagers.  So when you see I went 4-6 or 5-5 or 6-4... might not be as bad for my wallet as you think.  I don't normally post my amounts, but since "you asked"..... Sharp

Arkansas wins this one by more than a TD.  Excellent passer that Bama was able to get to; TA&M is no Bama on defense.  3 unit play on Arkansas for me.

Arkansas here. Texas A&M doesn't have the defense that Bama did and they won't be able to contain Mallett and they passing attack.

I like Arkansas big on this one.

Arkansas has a pretty good team this year but it doesn't show in their record. The Georgia game was close and we've now seen what Mallett can do (he's the real deal, been watching him since he was at Mich). The Bama game... well let's be honest, there probably aren't even a handful of teams in the whole country that could go into BD and score big points, Bama is just plain nasty.

A&M really hasn't played anyone and even had a close one against Utah State. They haven't seen anything like they'll see this Saturday. I expect Mallett to throw all over the field this week and Ark to win big.

Just put a chunk on Arkansas here, I just really like them against an untested A&M defense. This might be one of my biggest plays of the week. GLTA

Tough one here, A&M has played cupcakes, R-Kansas has been beaten up by very good teams.  I like the passing attack of Arkansas and their rushing defense.  A&M may prove us wrong though?

I'm gonna lean Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh-kansas HARD.  A&M was absolutely horrid last year and I don't see anything changing much this year.

Arky has held up during a tough schedule and is ready for a feel-good win after the road loss to #3 Bama.
