The No. 4 Texas A&M Aggies will be hitting the road this weekend to take on their old SWC and SEC West rivals, the Arkansas Razorbacks, as they attempt to move their record up to 7-0 on the year.
These 2 storied programs share a long history against one another, with Saturday’s game being the 82nd all-time meeting between them. The Aggies have had the Razorbacks’ number the past few seasons, but Arkansas has the opportunity to throw a massive wrench into what’s shaping up to be a very good season for A&M.
Vegas currently has the spread listed at 7.5 points in favor of the Aggies, but SportsCenter host Scott Van Pelt isn’t putting his money on Texas A&M at Razorback Stadium.
“Arkansas plus the points last week was correct, and we’re high on the Hogs again this weekend in Fayetteville,” Van Pelt said on Thursday night during his weekly ‘Winners’ segment.
Arkansas being at home in a rivalry game certainly helps their cause in this one, as the Razorbacks are 2-1 on their home turf so far this season. If the Hogs can manage to keep this one under a touchdown, then Van Pelt’s faith in them will be rewarded once again.
Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
