I just don't see the game being that close, but there has been a lot of money wagered on the Aggies for the line to have moved over 3 points.

That is the kind of swing gamblers can make money on! 3 to 3/12 swing IF you were able to catch it! Tells me Arkansas will win by 6 or 7.

Just how unprepared are the gameday cast. Herbstreit picked A&M...his reason because the game was at Kyle field at A&M. They corrected him and he said the game is still in Texas and would be like Kyle field. Has he lost his mind? Ark will have more fans at the game then A&M. A&M might win but it will have nothing to do with home field advantage. This show gets worse every single Sat.

Desmond just said A&M wins by at least 2 TD's.

These guys kill me! I am surprised they are picking the lower ranked team, as they are such wave riders! But what in the heck are they basing these predictions on. What kills me, Ark wins by 20 and it is very doubtful we hear anything form them on the clown pick next week!

I think when they have two or three guys making picks, they will often have one person take the opposite side from the other two. They may not even believe their own pick, but feel it would be boring if they all agreed.

I originally thought this would be an easy win for the Hogs, but with the line moving down to only a 5 point spread, I now look for this to be a close game.

All boils down to what the Aggie QB does. If he has a good day it will be close. Aggies travel well, also. The Hogs won't outdraw in Dallas.

they outdrew the Aggies last year and I suspect they will again this year.

Start of 2nd quarter, Hogs are completely dominating, yet only up by 7. Key play, Mallett int returned to the Ark 2. It took A&M 4 downs to punch it in. Score 14-7
Ark has around 270 total yards (right at 100 rushing) and Aggies have about 70 yards of offense.

Hogs still completely dominating this game...near the end of the 2nd. Hogs are killing themselves with offenssive penalties....false starts. Jerrod Johnson is something like 3-15 for 37 yards. Hogs can't keep letting these guys hang around. Ark has quadrupled A& M in yards or close to it.

Hogs yet another false start that stopped the drive. Hogs then fake a field goal and turn it over. Hogs have two turnovers on back to back drives and no points. Man, Ark is killing themselves.

The penalties are crazy. The Fake FG was ridiculous, take the 3 pts!

How did Ark get the ball back before that nice throw??? I missed it checking Bama-SC.

Hogs TD with :53 seconds left in 4th quarter. Hogs up 21-7.

They said that A&M has 104 yards of total offense in first half. Hogs have well over 300 (just a guess). Mallett has 200+ with 3 TD's. Hogs are running ball well. They do have 9 penalties for 93 yards...that's the only reason the sore is not closer to 35-7 or worse.

What a bogus pass interfernce call.

A&M 3 and out and punt (1 run and 2 incomplete passes).
