This is a 10* O/U ART OF THE GAME on the UNDER between Arkansas and Texas A&M.
This total has climbed from 68 to 72 (I personally have 69.5), regardless, while these are two very capable offenses, I feel that the conditions are right for a lower-scoring "chess match" style of contest. Texas A&M and Kenny Hill have actually started their highest-scoring four-game stretch in school history and are 4-0 for the first time since 2006. I'm not reading too much into the Aggies performance yet though, the schools they've played have all been sub-par competition including last week's 58-6 victory over SMU. These teams will play this contest at Dallas Cowboys' NFL Stadium, which I always feel is a detriment to both sides, as the unfamilar surroundings and extra media attention can't help but distract these young and impressionable players. It's hard to imagine A&M not get caught looking ahead here as well, after the Razorbacks the team plays No. 14 Mississippi State, No. 10 Ole Miss and No. 3 Alabama, all SEC West teams which are undefeated at the moment. A nationally televised game in the monster stadium, super important contest on the horizon and over achieving to this point? There's no question in my mind that the Aggies are going to be thinking about other things than just the game today. Defensively the Aggies have also impressed, they had eight sacks last week and didn't allow a first down unitl midway through the second quarter: ‘It really started with the defense. The defense came out and played lights out,'' confirmed Hill afterwards. Arkansas is 3-1 and has three blowout wins of its own as well so far under second-year coach Bret Bielema, which included last week's 52-14 victory over Northern Illinois. The Razorbacks though haven't won an SEC game since 2012: We've made progress; we've done certain things better,'' Bielema said earlier in the week. ''I think, without a doubt, our guys have a lot more confidence than they maybe had a year ago. But until you've done it on a big stage and against a quality opponent like we're going to see Saturday, it's really just talk.'' So while the Arkansas offense has flourished so far this year, for the most part it's also played very weak competition and suddenly it's going to have to face a pretty decent defensive unit this week, all signs point to a letdown for the Razorbacks as well. This is a situationally based play, in my opinion, all signs point to the UNDER as the sharp wager in this one.
