BETTING LINE: Texas A&M is favored by 23.5 points
PETE ROULIER | 3-1 overall, 2-2 against the spread
Admittedly, after watching the Hogs dominate Colorado State in the fourth quarter two Saturdays ago, I had a feeling maybe this team had turned the corner and a bowl game was possible. With the embarrassing loss to San Jose State last weekend in Fayetteville, obviously the Hogs still have a long way to go before they will be competitive in the SEC again. 
Razorback quarterback Nick Starkel threw five interceptions against the Spartans, and he will likely not do that again this season. He has a lot to prove with his back against the wall facing his former team, and I believe he will perform well. That being said, Jimbo Fisher will have his team ready and the upset isn’t going to happen. Texas A&M 35, Arkansas 17
TREY BIDDY | 3-1 overall, 1-3 against the spread
It has been a rough seven seasons for the Razorbacks since Texas A&M joined the SEC, and something has to change. The Hogs have lost all seven meetings with the Aggies, including five straight close games with four coming by seven points. Arkansas has a Texas A&M graduate coaching the team, a former Texas A&M defensive coordinator, a former Texas A&M secondary coach, a former Texas A&M starting running back and a former Texas A&M starting quarterback. Though outmanned in 2018, they played them within seven points, 24-17. At some point the Razorbacks are going to end the streak and get back to their winning ways over A&M (41-24-3 in favor of Arkansas before A&M joined the SEC)...but it probably won't happen this year. Texas A&M 45, Arkansas 21

DANNY WEST | 2-2 overall, 0-4 against the spread
Against my better judgement following Arkansas' home loss to lowly San Jose State last weekend, I'm going with the recent trend of Arkansas making this a dog fight. There's no doubt the Razorbacks have had a gut-check type of week, but the Aggies have had to take a strong look in the mirror, too. In the end, A&M's ability to get off the field on third down defense, while facing an Arkansas offense that has struggled to convert, will be the deciding factor. As usual, this one will be closer than most anticipated, but the Aggies will come out on top. Texas A&M 31, Arkansas 20

Jets need Brandon Allen at QB: Why the Broncos turned to Brandon Allen as backup quarterback Allen, a 2016 sixth-round NFL draft pick from Arkansas, was picked up on waivers from the Rams

Image
I have watched this game tonight between Browns and Jets and I am convinced that the Jets who have gone through 2 QBs do not have legit QB on the team. Brandon Allen, Dak Prescott and Chad Kelly all have equivalent stats in SEC and got drafted same time.  I think if Brandon was with NY Jets he may be viewed as a star. It is 3rd qtr and no Jet QB has completed any pass beyond the line of scrimmage. Kyle Fredrickson, The Denver Post  Broncos quarterback Brandon Allen speaks to reporters on Monday, Sept. 2, after being released by the Rams and picked up by Denver. Allen will be starter Joe Flacco’s backup on Week 1 at the Raiders. By  KYLE FREDRICKSON  |  kfredrickson@denverpost.com  | The Denver Post September 3, 2019 at 6:00 am Brandon Allen described his previous 48 hours as a “whirlwind,” because he’s still spinning from a Sunday morning phone call.

THE REAL PROBLEM WITH HOGS BASKETBALL

 I posted another article about the basketball program and after 6 games I am still not impressed.  The 6-0 start and top 5 recruiting class has made Arkansas fans delusional.  But, that's how fans are.  Some fans believe if you are not bragging about the program or always thinking positive you can't be a fan.  Newsflash, it's okay to tell it like it is and still be a fan.   The real problem with the Hogs??  The inside game or rather the lack of is going to be a big problem for them.  Yes, folks that's the same problem they had last year.  Did anyone watch them play against UCA?  They got out rebounded by a team that won't come close to winning their own conference.  You heard me right.  Out rebounded by a Southland Conference team. The biggest problem last year was lack of size.  And once again it's the same problem again this year.   There are many fans that are so excited and actually believe that Muss is doing a great job.  My question is how?  There argumen

Now or never for Razorback senior Jamario Bell

https://247sports.com/college/arkansas/Article/Jamario-Bell-Arkansas-Razorbacks-production--134243362/ Jamario Bell  has finally settled into a position at defensive end for Arkansas, and he has one more opportunity to leave his mark as a senior in 2019. Bell, 6-5, 265, played in 11 of 12 games for the Hogs in 2018, racking up 20 total tackles and 11 solo stops. Athletic for his size, the Junction City (Ark.) product showed out in a 37-33 loss to Ole Miss at War Memorial Stadium, making a tackle for a 5-yard loss, forcing a fumble and hurrying the quarterback. The big end showed flashes of greatness, but he needs to put it all together in his final season of eligibility. “Jamario, same way, now it's time,” Arkansas head coach  Chad Morris  said. “It's time. You've been here, been in the program, you're from Arkansas it's time now to really take it over the top. Really come in here and really make a difference in your position room. We've challenged him, C
