The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M has looked great in their games this season with their 6-0 record overall and their 3-0 conference record which has them right near the top of the SEC. They are off a 34-17 win over Florida in their last one and they have been rolling over teams this season, ranked like one of the best teams in the nation too. Their defense didn't look great to start the season, but they have looked a lot better in their games lately. They also have a great offense that has been putting up a ton of points all season. Meanwhile, Arkansas hasn't looked good in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall and their 0-2 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the SEC. They have been a disaster this season and have already fired their head coach too. They do have a really good offense that can put up points, coming off a 34-31 loss to Tennessee in their last one, but their defense has been terrible as they have one of the worst defenses in the SEC. They didn't look any better against Tennessee last week either so they are still going to struggle to stop this Texas A&M offense, and this is a much better defense that Arkansas will be facing too. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game.

“This doesn't mean anything if we don't finish. It’s been the word since the offseason. It’s the only thing that we’ve talked about. We’re really excited with where we are, but we’re nowhere yet ... we’re focused one week at a time, one game at a time, we’re focused on finishing every opportunity that we have.” - Mike Elko after his team’s win against Florida in their last game.
