Gotta get this started early...

Oddsmakers also foresee a close game, as Texas A&M comes in as the narrow 2.5 point favorites, according to SI Sportsbook, which set an over/under mark of 48 points.

 

Piggy OL vs aggy DL gonna be fun...

that's about even once you discount home-field for Aggie.

Should end up being a short game if they both lean on the run.

Any predictions?

 

No home field advantage for aggy... it's played in Jerry World

Pretty sure the game is in Dallas.

I'm a little surprised Arkansas isn't favored. I guess their performance against Missouri State has some bettors spooked? All I know is that they looked like dogshit against Rice the week before playing us last year and then put the wood to us.  I know Arkansas has some key injuries on defense but I think they should control the trenches in this one.

Yeah, losing their starting safety Catalon was a big blow to arky defense...

Yeah, Arky's got some injuries on defense, but Aggy has scored 14 and 17 in their last two games, and one of those was against App St.

Arkansas by something like 42-10.

This is the turning poing game, after which not even aggy can deny that 5 to 7 losses are coming and they're gonna lose half of that highly touted recruiting class.

And I am in for all of it.

Yes, injuries in the secondary, but it's not like aggy's passing game (or offense as a whole) is any real threat.  I think this game will present another dip in the aggy roller-coaster.

Injuries in Arky's secondary don't mean shit with how dogshit aggy's OL is.

They only "scored" 7 on App State, as a KO return was the other 7.

So yeah, Jimbo's genius offense managed 7 points on App State, who gave up 63 to UNC and 28 to Troy.

Pigs secondary being dogshit is a bit concerning.  Stewart and Marshall can make things happen, even if it's short routes due to lack of competent OL.  Now, if Johnson takes 2-3 solid sacks early, who knows.   I hope this is the one that puts them in the ditch for the year.  Fuck aggy.  Fuck pig too.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I like old school pound the rock running games. Take away the entire fuck-aggy-I-hope-they-lose-forever element, and it'll still be a game I will enjoy watching.

Unless aggy wins of course.

 

As for predictions:

I predict a lot of whooping and suey-ing, as well as a lot of sore sheep anuses later.

Yes, I think it's overreactions for both teams from last week; A&M beating "the #11 team in the country", and Arkansas struggling against Missouri State, when in reality Miami isn't very good right now and Cristobal played to keep the game close rather than win for recruiting purposes, and Arkansas probably spent the week preparing for A&M while Bobby Petrino pulled out every trick in his book

That's something I don't understand, of course I don't know anything about gambling, lines, odds or point spreads. Now that I've confessed to my ignorance,  how can a much higher ranked piggy be a 2.5 underdog when playing a much lower ranked aggy in at a neutral site?

Difference between what sportswriters think vs what Vegas oddsmakers think (at least on the initial line). The latter group has overwhelmingly proven to be more knowledgeable than the former….

Found this in an article from "The Athletic" discussing how "The Sack as a diminishing stat, with Georgia as a prime example"

Quote

"This doesn’t mean sacks can’t be important to some teams. Arkansas has ridden its nation-leading 17 sacks to an unbeaten start"

This game I put in the same group at A&M vs. Tech when they were both in the Big XII. An entertaining game that I always want to watch, root against A&M, but not heartbroken if they win. Love watching this game.
